Where seven new towns will be built across the UK

  • Seven locations across the UK have been selected for new towns, with each expected to deliver at least 10,000 homes, and some over 40,000.
  • The chosen sites include Tempsford, Leeds South Bank, Crews Hill and Chase Park, Manchester Victoria North, Thamesmead, Brabazon and West Innovation Arc, and Milton Keynes.
  • These new towns are designed to feature neighbourhoods that are easily navigable without a car, shared green spaces, and vibrant high streets.
  • Housing Secretary Steve Reed said that these developments mark a turning point in how the UK builds for the future, planning whole communities with integrated homes, jobs, transport, and green spaces.
  • Proposed names for the new towns, as reported by The Times, include Elizabethtown, Pankhurst, Attleeton, Athelstan, and Seacole.
