Following the 2023 AGM we had a discussion with members about a possible site for CLT housing at Mountain Oak Farm, and asked for a show of hands as to whether members supported the proposal.  The 25 members present supported it unanimously, so the committee will go on to plan a public meeting for everyone in the village to gauge whether it would have general support.  This will probably be in November.
The 2023 AGM was held on 19th August.  Here are the minutes
Our 2022 AGM was held on 13th August.  Despite its being one of the hottest days of the year we had a good number of attendees and a useful meeting.  Here are the minutes.

Housing needs survey Jan 2020
We conducted a new Housing Needs Survey in September and October 2019, and the results have now been checked and analysed.  178 survey forms were returned, a very good response rate of 32%.  At the time of the survey a need for 6 affordable rental homes was identified, and 77% of those who answered the relevant question said they would be in favour of a small development of affordable housing for local people.  The full survey can be found here:
