The multilayered, fascinating, Hometown Architect project, is drawing out the untapped resources of towns such as Aughrim and Lisdoonvarna https://t.co/hKhqZvGVwY
Delighted to see this profile of @common_k_, of which I'm a board member. We're currently issuing Community Bonds structured as 5 year loans (paying 5% interest p.a) to create a thriving hub to teach self-building, resilience & home skills. Revolutionary?
