A big thank you to @EdwardMorelloWD for asking @mtpennycook how the government will support CLTs via planning reform. West Dorset is home to 9 CLT Network Member CLTs so this support means a lot! Get your MP involved and send them our policy proposals: bit.ly/CLT-Lobby-24

Thank you to @BigIssueInvest for incredible support through the long process of planning and building our homes. This lovely article from @BigIssue also highlights the vital roles played by @LewishamCouncil @MayorofLondon @LondonAssembly @triodos @Coop_Foundation 💚💚💚

Thanks @NationwideFdtn for sharing our review! CLTs can contribute more to national affordable housing goals - but to do it we need more funds like the CHF. Join us and ask your MP to re-open the CHF and implement other policy reforms. Templates here: bit.ly/CLT-Lobby-24

Thanks @JessBrownFuller for highlighting, in a debate on social housing, Westbourne CLT, on site and in the mix to be completing the 2,000th affordable @CommLandTrusts home!
