Responding to a question about the government’s commitment to garden cities, he said ministers remained enthusiastic about them in principle.
But he warned groups that had been hoping for a pot of money specifically for the purpose of promoting garden cities that other priorities, such as infrastructure, had been given greater weight in the spending round. He also said that the government “was not in the business of imposing garden cities on communities that don’t want them”.
So roads, schools and houses are a priority but doing them together isnt!
