21 AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The Community Land Trust has been working now for four years to get some more affordable houses for people with strong local connections. We know the need is still high as there are nearly 40 local families on the Homechoice register operated by Cornwall Council, and about 20 of those are people who require a small, single bedroom home. We also know that buying an open-market house is out of the question for most local families. The average house price is now about nine times average annual wages. It's probably worse than that here as we continue to be hit by the demand for second homes and holiday lets.
After the excitement of getting planning permission for our six new homes (four one- bedroom and two two-bedrooms) in Ruan Minor, we are working flat out to get tenders for contractors so that we can actually start building. Our next big headache is raising the finance to pay for it. We're still sure of getting the £257,198 that Cornwall Council are holding on our behalf, but the rest we'll have to borrow on a commercial bank loan.
Unless, that is, we can find other sources of funding. Are there any generous citizens out there who might be interested in giving us a donation or a long-term loan? The less we have to borrow, and pay interest on, the lower we'll be able to make the rents. Every pound we raise will go towards our goal of local houses for local people. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss anything in strictest confidence, please contact either our chairman, Paul Collins, on 290754 or our secretary,Peter Freeman on 200642.
