Spectacle is following the new Eco Town concept which is a current development in going green and solving housing issues.
Already something being done across Europe in Germany, Sweden and Holland to name but a few, Eco Towns are popping up all over the place.
But what does it really mean to go green and how do these emerging Eco Towns fulfill the ‘eco’ criteria set by the Government? Are they really environmentally friendly or just an excuse to supply more housing and make more money?
Spectacle questions the motives on this controversial issue with a particular focus on local opinion.

Most of the noise on Bordon has come from BAGGA. I have spoken to these people, most of whom do not live in Bordon.
BAAGA s replies to my questions were – no more houses.
What about the Army land? Put it back to what it was (pre War!!!)
What about the young people needing work? They can move away to find work.
How about a station? No that will bring people in.
This area has suffered from piece meal infilling of land for housing and poor planning for years. If there is no overall plan we will just get more houses. We need good employment for our people, young and old, particularly now that our only employer will have gone (the Army). If we don’t get this the residents already here will have to travel through Wrecklesham, Headley, Liphook, Blackmoor and Alton to get to work.
