The official site of the Prime Minister’s Office

More details from petition creator

The population density of England is almost double that of Germany and quadruple that of France.

The population density in England at the last census was 383 people per km².

This compares with a population density of 271/km² in Fife where Gordon Brown is an MP, and just 65/km² in Scotland as a whole.

These new towns should be built in Scotland so that Scotland can benefit from the increase in population and the positive environmental effects of these fantastic new eco-homes.

The sites currently proposed by the Government are as follows:

Bordon, Hampshire; Coltishall, Norfolk; Curborough, Staffordshire; Elsenham, Essex; Ford, West Sussex; Hanley Grange, Cambridgeshire; Imerys, near St Austell, Cornwall; Leeds city region, West Yorkshire; Manby, Lincolnshire; Marston Vale and New Marston, Bedfordshire; Middle Quinton, Warwickshire; Pennbury, Leicestershire; Rossington, South Yorkshire; Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, and; Weston Otmoor, Oxfordshire.
