"This community power can provide us all with precisely the hope we need in these difficult times, the hope that the daunting challenges we face might actually be surmountable. At Locality, we see it every day."
Ed Wallis on why we need a #CommunityPowerAct
"I believe that we as a society will all be better off if more of our assets are owned by the community. Selling this house to the CLT is one small step in that direction that was within my power to take." Affordable, rented, energy efficient, community owned & coming to Hebden.
"They just let the houses rot - bringing them back into family homes is the best thing that could happen for mental health, for kids and a sense of pride and way to move forward."
