Very pleased to have secured a commitment from @michaelgove to scale up the role of @CommLandTrusts (and@commledhousing). We're working with @luhc, @UKCohousing & @CoopHousingUK on how to achieve that. For a glimpse of what that might look like, read https://t.co/8j8GR7xMFR

@simonjamesjupp Well, I'm inclined to think that climate change related floods, wildfires, mass migration might disrupt things a bit for people too. It's moving to see people acting with integrity even at great cost to themselves - it was his own graduation day too.

There's an article on the Devon Housing Commission on the BBC news website https://t.co/GhZexeYX8o

[Alison Ward @AlisonWardx]

Devon people! Pls take a few mins to complete the Devon Housing Commission survey on housing challenges you face and your ideas on solutions. The year long study into Devon's housing markets aims to identify the issues, effects & what can be done to help https://t.co/WNe2ND9I5F

BBC reports holiday-let homes in Eng up 40% in 3 years. This will surprise exactly no-one in the places that I visit each week where local people are trying to do something for locals needing a home by setting up a community land trust. CLTs need support https://t.co/LTo6ujEmEh

City held back by unaffordable #ukhousing, low graduate retention and economically inactive over 50's https://t.co/U0xANvqKLM #socialhousing

[Alison Ward @AlisonWardx]

@visitcamberwell @CLHLondon ?

[Alison Ward @AlisonWardx]

This is problem for community led housing and a drag on the pipeline of CLH homes to the frustration of lots of community groups, making smaller schemes that some communities want unviable too
