Yes, if you build it, they will come.............

Eco-Towns,the Government's unusually unpopular move to build new ecologically sound and affordable housing have seen a new potential site.

Balamory, the fictional town,populated by a number of cartoon characters is all set to become an Eco-Town, and a centre for affordable housing for many people living in London.

Mr Ivan Foolish, Shadow Minister for Money wasting said: 'Eco-Towns are proving to be incredibly unpopular with many in the populace, who are concerned about losing valuable green-land, and we thought we would build it far away from London. And where could be further from London, than Scotland? I mean, Londoner's don't want to lose their greens to progress, and they are proving unpopular practically everywhere else. Where could be more fitting for an Eco-Town than a fictional Scottish place. I know that the commute from Businesses in London to a fictional town in Scotland will undo all of the good work that an Eco-Town is meant to do, but I and all of my colleagues feel it is a small price to pay for peace of mind'

This is believed to be one of Gordon Brown's last measures in safe-guarding the future of London. PC Plum, and the other colourful characters were nowhere to be found, for the actors who played them are now preparing for a part in a Panto.
