Protest over eco-town plans
Updated on 23 February 2008
Hundreds of campaigners have protested in a rural village against plans to turn it in to an eco-town of 15,000 homes.
About 500 protesters waving placards including "Down with the eco-town" and "Stop the Co-op eco-town" attended the rally in Stoughton, Leicestershire.
The village and surrounding area is on a list of about 50 sites that have been ear-marked by developers as possible locations for one of the Government's new eco-towns. It is expected that the Government will cut down the number of sites to a shortlist of 18 next week.
