Whitehill Bordon Opportunity

Whitehill Bordon is one of 13 towns in the running for Eco-town status and is the only one which has the backing of its local authority, East Hampshire District Council.

Local people and the Whitehill Town Council gave their support to a project called the 'Green Town Vision' over two years ago.

The aim of the Green Town Vision is to ensure that new development in the town will bring about regeneration while protecting the natural environment.

The Government's plans for Eco-towns fit very closely with the Green Town Vision and so East Hampshire District Council made a bid. The district council is currently consulting with residents about the proposed Eco-town.

When the Ministry of Defence's relocation is confirmed this will enable up to 5,500 homes to be built and up to 7,000 jobs to be created, with a new town centre and associated infrastructure.
