👏👏👏 delighted this has been approved by Cabinet. Great example of Council encouraging housing innovation and enabling community-led affordable homes to be created exactly where people need them most 😀

My house is one of these! #happydays
One of the most exciting @CommLandTrusts in the country, community led infill of a low density 30s suburb providing homes let at rents linked to local incomes. Backed by a city council that understands the complementary role of council and community power.

Great to finally see progress on site, many many months of planning and design, plus Covid has meant 3 years to get this stage! Building should be waterproof by the end of the month! #WeCanMake #CommunityCollab #Affordablehousing #MMC #Socialhousing
