505	2		_aFrequently Asked Questions: What is the role of Government in relation to these proposed eco-towns? -- Is there really such a need for housing, given we are in an economic slowdown? -- Is local authority support necessary for taking the schemes forward? -- Will communities be given a proper say in these proposals? -- Some of the proposals have changed since your consultation document. Does that undermine the process? -- I'm worried that additional housing in my area will put greater stress on our transport and infrastructure; it's under pressure as it is. -- How will you ensure that pledges made by developers (eg on sustainability, or transport provision) are adhered to?
