The Bicester Eco-town Con

BaECON was formed at the start of 2012 as a formal group to campaign against the ill thought through proposals to site a 5,000 house estate on 850 acres of farmland north of Bicester. We are not a reactionary ‘Nimby’ group who object to this development purely on the basis of its location. Our concerns are around the total lack of democracy in the way the development has been proposed and pushed forward, and the costs and risks involved to local taxpayers.
