”Pennbury Eco Town” a small town that will save the world or a town the size of Hinckley that will destroy beautiful countryside and cultural heritage.
A petition has been set up on the Number 10 website calling for residents to be consulted on proposals for up to 20,000 "green" homes between Oadby and the A47 by Billesdon.

The Eco Town has now been shortlisted. Please act now if you do not want this town on your doorstep. Eco towns do not need the same planning permission as other dwellings. So it is down to all of us to prevent this town from eating up the countryside and removing us of Leicester’s Historic Airport.

:Update:

The Eco town has now been short listed. The campaign to stop the eco-town continues, walks around the area and protests are being organised, for more information on this please see the Great Glen Parish Office.

Whilst in Great Glen please pay a visit to the Post Office as you will find on sale “Stop the Eco-Town” T-Shirts.

The shirts cost £6.50 each with £1 from each T-shirt going towards the legal costs of stopping this environmental disaster. (Please note that the text about the donation is not printed on the shirt as illustrated)

For more information on the eco town and the ongoing protest to stop it please pay a visit to the Oadby and Wigston Borough Council website:
