Ross Clark looks into eco-towns
Of course, new housing developments should use whatever technology is available to minimise their use of energy and impact on the environment. But there is little to suggest to me that Gordon Brown’s eco-towns are yet fully baked — they are more a device to help him get his housing estates built with the minimum of local opposition.
There is just the one detail at Hanley Grange which definitely has been worked out so far. According to Bob Selwood, the town will include one large supermarket. And the company who will be taking it on? ‘Tesco has a contractual arrangement with the developers and I’m sure there is an aspiration for it to have a supermarket.’
