Eco homes in four towns to offer vision of future

摘要

Four communities in southern England are to share £60M of government cash to build 'eco show homes' as part of the wider eco-towns agenda. Whitehill-Bordon in Hampshire, St Austell in Cornwall, Rackheath in Norfolk and North West Bicester in Oxfordshire will each receive a chunk of the funding to build a total of 600 new homes to exacting environmental standards. They will also meet some social criteria, with a third of the properties expected to meet local standards for affordable homes.
