At a meeting with WDDC, BC was advised that an all-affordable scheme would be looked upon favourably. 40% to be housing association homes; private houses selling at 80%; private rents at 90% of market rate.
BC had recently instigated open ‘tea and chat’ sessions in local cafes, and in Summer local walks, where people who were interested could come and meet us and ask questions. We varied the time/day and venue to make these as accessible as possible. Attending some of these events was the starting point for people who wished to become members.
