Map shows the twelve ‘new towns’ that could be built under Labour

Twelve ‘new towns’ could be built across England after the government revealed their potential locations.

Labour has even earmarked the three ‘most promising’ sites in a bid to hit its 1.5million new homes by 2029 target.

The government hopes to start building at least three new towns before the next general election, scheduled for August 2029.

Sites at Tempsford in Bedfordshire, Leeds South Bank and Crews Hill in North London, seem especially favourable ‘at this stage’, the government said.

But no final decision has been made and nine other proposed locations include Manchester, Marlcombe in East Devon and South Gloucestershire. The new towns could be regenerations or extensions of existing urban areas, such as in Manchester and Plymouth.
