"Government has taken the 'eco' out of eco town plans" - MP
Mark Lancaster says new green settlements are 'a farce'
North East Milton Keynes MP Mark Lancaster says he is disappointed over Labour u-turns he claims have 'watered-down' the green credentials of eco-towns and which ignore views of local communities.
A mini-town has been mooted for Marston Vale, just outside his constituency.
"The Government has taken the eco out of eco-towns by forcing them onto environmentally unviable sites, ignoring local opinions and back tracking on how many they will build.
"I cannot and will not support something that is clearly a farce and I have particular concerns over the potential knock-on effect for infrastructure funding for Milton Keynes," he said.
