Do you despair of ever being able to afford to own your own home, or to purchase a larger home to accommodate your growing family?
If you rent your home, are you scared of being forced to move on….yet again; of being unable to afford your rent and of getting into debt?
Would you like to live in permanently affordable, energy efficient housing in Hereford – or know of somebody else who would?
Would you like to feel that you belong, living within a community of your choice? Would you enjoy working together with others to achieve your chosen lifestyle?
Would you like to live in permanently affordable, energy efficient housing in Hereford – or know of somebody else who would?
Would you like to design your own home to be as comfortable and energy efficient as possible? ….maybe even contribute to building it, or finishing it off inside?
Are you the sort of person who would like to contribute to mending our failing housing system?

Herefordshire Council’s Housing Strategy is out for Consultation
Herefordshire Council have updated their housing strategy and have put it out for consultation on line. Searching for ‘Herefordshire Council Housing Strategy Consultation’ should find it, whilst the full link is: https://consultations.herefordshire.gov.uk/consultations/article/57/draft-local-housing-strategy-consultation.
The response is by a questionnaire, making it easy to complete. There are sections on affordable housing, the links between health and housing, the quality of existing homes and bringing long-term empty homes back into use, reducing the negative impact that housing has on the environment, partnership working to meet particular needs, and on anything you think the strategy may have missed altogether.
HCLT’s board will be making its own response, but everyone is encouraged to make their own contributions, perhaps highlighting help that could be provided to CLTs as they are focussed on meeting local affordable needs, and encouraging their approach to development through wide discussion before submitting plans. Those are just our suggestions (and we have others)!
If anyone also wishes to raise an issue about the Strategy with us, then please email us at: herefordclt@gmail.com
Please note that if responding, the questionnaire needs to be completed by 11th June.
