Tony Walton and Colin Cockshaw stood in the local elections last week to oppose the ridiculous plans to build a so-called "Eco" Town in the countryside north of Bicester.
This hare-brained scheme seems to have been cooked up by a few politicians with no real public consultation or involvement, and is being pushed through with indecent haste by Cherwell District Council. It appears that there is no master developer for the site, and to get the plans off the ground Cherwell District Council is planning to spend up to £10m of OUR money as seed corn (not sure that's an appropriate phrase, given that they plan to concrete over in excess of 500 acres of fields) for the project.
