Five new eco-towns to be built

The government has asked local authorities and developers to bid for money towards building five new housing settlements around the country. The new developments will consist of between 5,000 and 20,000 carbon neutral homes. The new towns will be designed to ensure schools and shopping facilities are within walking distance from the houses to reduce car journeys. The houses will have the latest energy saving technology built into them. There is already an eco-town being built at the moment in Northstowe near Cambridge. Gordon Brown has said that all new houses will be carbon neutral by 2016. [Via The Times]
