My friend Tony Crofts, who has died aged 81 of Covid-19, had a varied career as a journalist, publican and teacher, but was also a pioneer of the community land trust movement in England, campaigning for public land and affordable housing. Starting with a small trust in the village of Stonesfield, Oxfordshire, he later created housing projects in Oxford and Bristol.
