STUDIO INTERVIEW: JOHN DEAGON, ST MODWEN DEVELOPERS - we will build 6,000 homes with at least a third that will be affordable for people on waiting lists. There will be lots of new services and a updated transport service, but most importantly the whole thing will be economically sound and have a carbon zero footprint.
INTERVIEW: MIKE BRAIN, STRATFORD DISTRICT COUNCIL - a new town of this size would devastate a town like Stratford upon Avon. This is in the wrong place and breaks the governments own criteria that it should be close to already established larger settlements.
