A parish council chairman whose countryside village has been identified as a likely site for the construction of a new town has criticised the Government for leaving residents in the dark, saying: “Nobody’s come to talk to us at all.”
It comes as the Housing Secretary is set to pledge that the construction of three new towns will begin before the next election at Labour’s party conference – with Tempsford in Bedfordshire, Leeds South Bank, and Crews Hill, north London, described as the “most promising sites”.
