About Us
We are local people who think the Government is wrong to want an eco-town here, and the Council is wrong with their plan to double the population of our town. While they make promises they can't deliver, they do everything possible to conceal the real impact of their plan- a lot more houses, a lot more traffic, a lot of damage to the natural environment and surrounding settlements- maybe a few more shops and "facilities." We think the price of these facilites is far too high.
The Council is not listening to local people. Most people place perservation of the area's countryside character as a top priority. 5,500 houses will mean building on green sites in Bordon, damaging the natural ecology, biodiversity and taking greenfield land outside the town to make up the shortfall in required open space.

The photo which appears at the top of each page is the original Old Fire Station, before it was disfigured by adding the present huge garage doors. Now the Council has bought the building for an "eco-exhibition" to promote their expansion plans. We think it should be restored and reused for a self-sustaining purpose- we don't need an eco-town to do that!
