Residents reject eco-town

Locals of a village near the proposed eco-town site of Pennbury have voted overwhelmingly against the 15,000 home site. The poll found that 99 per cent of respondents voted against the plan, adding to voices of four other nearby villages who have already rejected the proposals. However, a spokesperson from the developers said the plans needed to move forward, as only there were a ‘minority of local people opposed to the idea’.
