Vision Group welcomes eco-town idea

"This presents a fantastic opportunity for Arun to have an exemplar project that will be zero carbon, provide much needed new homes, new jobs and new social infrastructure, including a major funding contribution towards an Arundel bypass.

"The successful short listing of Arun reflects the strength of our bid's environmental and sustainability credentials which met all the criteria set down by the Government.

"Over the next few months we will be widely consulting with local stakeholders to get their views and input into our eco town proposal," Rod Hague of Ford Airfield Vision Group.
