The eco-town issue is really hotting up, this week in an article on thisisexeter.co.uk we see that the Government is putting up more than £6.5m to support the development of a “prototype eco-town” near Exeter, a minister has announced.

Housing Minister Caroline Flint: “We are obviously working with the local authorities and partners in the Cranbrook area to support the delivery of the housing and of the necessary infrastructure.“To support that, we have provided £1m in 2007-08 and £5.5m for 2008 to 2011.”
