Eco town at wardle??


It hit the news this week with a bang- i posted last week about the possibility, then it hit the news big time.
The government is quoted as suggusted that we need 3 million new homes by 2020, but where are we going to put them
Prescot was a champion of brownfield developments, and largely very succesful, but we still dont have enough devlopments on the go to satisfy the demand.
There are 1.6 million people that are on the council house waiting list across the uk at the moment , and this figure is sure to increase and we dont build any more council houses any more for the needy.
The only way forward is to seek some sensitive green field sites such as Wardle , which is partially brownfield.
It brought out the NIMBYs on tv
What do you think?

We've got to build somewhere but out in the country is not, IMO, the answer. We need to move away from multiple car journeys not increase them.
