The Government's idea to build so-called "eco-towns" on greenfield sites in areas such as Selby makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
If we must have these wretched towns, then why not build them on the many hundreds of "brownfield sites" near to towns and cities like Bradford, Batley, Keighley, Dewsbury, Leeds and Lincoln?
The current plans are not "green" at all. It is a massive con wrapped up in a "greensleeve".
