Picture dated November 20th 2023 shows a general view of Northstowe in Cambridgeshire, Englands biggest new town. England's biggest new town still has no shops, cafes or even a GP surgery six years after the first families moved there. About 1, 200 homes have been built at Northstowe, 10 miles north of Cambridge, since construction work started in 2017. Some 10, 000 homes are planned, with a total population of 26, 000, which will make it the biggest new town in England since Milton Keynes was built in Buckinghamshire in 1967. But frustrated residents have hit out at the town's developers, saying Northstowe has been left like a "ghost town" without vital facilities that were promised. It is still without basic necessities like shops, pubs, cafes, public toilets and even a GP practice. Instead it consists of row upon row of newly developed houses occupied by families who have been left in the dark about the prospect of any basic infrastructure.
