Urban village

So today I visited Grand Union Village. A sustainable urban village built at a high density along the waterfront to the canal. It features eco-homes, home-zone layouts, car sharing scheme, on site community facilities and all the other environmentally friendly inclusive buzz words you care to think of. I even got the reflective snappy arm bands to prove it (to promote safe walking and cycling).


It was pretty smart though, just a shame it's on the edge of Hayes, the most horrible place in the world.

Update:
