Bristol and the East Midlands will this week be named as the first places where a new network of eco-friendly houses is to be created.
Ministers are working with English Partnerships, the regeneration agency, to establish dozens of small-scale communities across England made up of only zero-carbon or low-carbon houses, to help reduce the impact of climate change. Initially 1,000 such homes will be built.
