Talk:New towns in the United Kingdom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does Swindon fit in here somewhere? ---

Can someone synchronize this with the list on * List of planned cities so it only shows up in one place ? dml 22:02, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Derry

Abolishing Derry's elected city council and replacing it with an unelected quango appointed by the unionist government must have um, come in for a bit of criticism. (was the Corporation of Londonderry actually under nationalist control before?) Might be good to have some highlights of criticism... Morwen - Talk 09:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe it was seen as a reforming move, the corporation being accused of being gerrymandered to have a unionist majority in a nationalist city, and for sectarian allocation of public housing. See [1] under Friday 22 November 1968 in particular.Lozleader 16:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Winchelsea

Shouldnt (new) Winchelsea be mentioned here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kentem (talk • contribs) 19:44, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Expanding towns

Since this article includes all sorts of stuff outside the 'Act' new towns it ought to mention the GLC Expanding Towns and similar schemes, which include places like Andover, Haverhill and Basingstoke. There is a brief mention under London overspill. Pterre (talk) 15:00, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
