A group of Braunton residents have called an online public meeting to discuss the lack of genuinely affordable housing for rent for the families and young people in Braunton.
They want to consult with Braunton villagers on the setting up of a Community Land Trust (CLT). CLTs can offer opportunities for local communities to provide affordable accommodation for local people by developing land that otherwise would not be given planning permission.
Roy Tomlinson, a spokesperson for the Project Group which is calling the meeting, said: “These are small developments of 10 to 25 houses which can make an important contribution to meeting the need for affordable housing for rent, which the private developers will never do.

But those people all built and tinkered with the earliest technologies to create something that would transform the lives of everyone reading this message today.
One of the most vital technologies to emerge from this period was electronic mail or “network mail” as it was known at the time something we call email today. And while we may think of email as integral to our experience of the internet, it wasn’t always a given. Email had to be invented, but once it was, people loved it.
