The intention behind this page is to provide information about a proposed Eco-Town site. Every effort will be made to ensure that facts are stated and any opinions or emotions are left to other websites which are campaigning against proposed Eco-Towns
Tried to reduce bias - removed "The eco-town will not have the retail or leisure facilities of a large town such as Oxford. One of the few benefits for low income families of living in a large city is that many facilities, often free of charge or discounted, are on their doorstep or a short bus ride away. This will not be the case for the eco-town in the middle of the countryside. The bias towards low income households, the elimination of cars and the lack of facilities appears designed to increase the deprivation of already disadvantaged families and to contain them in a rural ghetto." As this conflicts with the statement of free train transport - low income families can just hop on the train into Oxford. Also added housing comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.69.5.37 (talk) 22:30, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
