The not so green eco-towns
Two eco-town proposals could lead to further losses of Green Belt land, contradicting the claims of ministers that none would be built on Green Belt land.

Good news on Green Belts
The New Forest, National Park has been created from existing Green Belt land. The Government refused a number of damaging development proposals in the West Midlands and safeguarded existing Green Belt boundaries in North West England.

CPRE Oxfordshire creates 50-mile Green Belt walk
CPRE Oxfordshire has created the Oxford Green Belt Way, a 50-mile circular walk around Oxford – one mile for each year since the designation of Oxford's Green Belt in 1956. The route was created using existing footpaths and bridleways and took more than a year to design. The walk was opened by Boris Johnson MP, in July 2007 as part of CPRE Oxfordshire's 75th birthday celebrations. See the Green Belt Way website for a map and walk description.
