26 March 2004
Greenfields equal in size to Manchester would be built on as a result of the Barker plans, said the Campaign to Protect Rural England last week. It said the proposals would impose huge infrastructure costs on the public purse while fuelling regional economic disparities. Neil Sinden, CPRE's policy director, said that Barker's proposed housebuilding levels would cause an "unnecessary environmental disaster, placing huge areas of countryside at risk and undermining urban regeneration".

Budget news: Tax help for elderly
26 March 2004
Over-70s will receive £100 to help pay council tax as a result of last week's Budget. Together with the present winter fuel payment, it means that pensioners aged over 70 will be entitled to £300 a year, while over-80s will receive £400. Gordon Brown calculates that pensioners will be £26 better off a week. But Mervyn Kohler, head of public affairs at Help the Aged, said: "For all the apparent generosity of the chancellor's one-off gifts, there was no bold bid in the Budget to address pensioner poverty. The £100 subsidy to help people over 70 pay council tax bills will clearly help, but 17 per cent of pensioners remain in persistent poverty."
