Eco-town protestors
Campaigners against the Warwickshire eco-town will be heading to court for the second time. BARD- Better Accessible Responsible Development Campaign-are opposing the prospect of a development in middle Quinton.
The new home development will contain 6000 homes as part of the Government’s pledge to increase UK housing, but some people believe the location is not appropriate.
“The information provided by the Government on eco-towns has been confused, flawed and inadequate, thereby making it impossible for ordinary members of the public to engage in serious consultation. It is regrettable that we now rely on the court appeal for us to be given an opportunity to consult on the principle and criteria for new environmentally friendly affordable settlements.”
(David Bliss -Head of BARD)
Campaigners claim the eco-town consultation process is flawed due to its complete lack of communication with residents. The Department for Communities and Local Government have now extended the consultation period and residents and objectors have until the end of April to respond if they wish.
There are eleven potential schemes in total including the development in Quinton.
for consultation on proposal.
