Future Homes mk2 Plot Thickens

Weeeell in my previous post I mentioned the Housing Minister's plan for 300,000 new houses in Yorkshire and the Humber and I got a clue where as many as 60,000 of them could be. Four of her new Eco Towns are actively being looked at as possibilities on the A1 M62 corridor. I will know more in the next few days.

At first glance this sounds a worthwhile eco friendly approach but the planning controls will be imposed by central government and the result is a command economy similar to a Russian Tractor Factory. The thing that winds me up here is that Our MP who is also Planning Minister looks like she is about to sacrifice her constituents for the good of her ministerial career and for Gordon's masterplan.
