October 2019

Lin and Monica went to the National Community Land Trust Network AGM in Birmingham. This network supports CLTs, for example by lobbying government to support policies that work for CLTs and against those that would handicap CLTs. An example is the government wish to do away with leasehold homes – CLTs use this form of tenure to keep homes affordable in perpetuity.
Lin had successfully nominated Monica for an award in the ‘Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop’ category. The prize was a wooden farmyard toy goose, because geese fly in a skein and when the one in the front tires it drops back and another goose takes its place.
Also present was Jim Hudson, the academic researcher who has worked with us.
