Calder Valley CLT Public Meeting: The Impact of Air BnB on Local Housing - the Waterfront Hall
Monday 28th October
From 7.30pm
Free - All welcome
Calder Valley Community Land Trust presents the third in a series of three public meetings on the theme “Housing: It’s an Issue”, with guest speakers sharing their ideas.
Calder Valley CLT is a member-led community benefit society with charitable status, which has been established to help address and meet housing needs in our part of Calderdale. They are part of the fast-growing community-led housing network, where local people play a leading role in solving local housing problems, creating genuinely affordable homes and stronger communities in ways that are difficult through current mainstream housing.
Calder Valley CLT’s mission is to “Work with the people of the Calder Valley to hold property and create sustainable and affordable homes in vibrant communities”.
Based at the Town Hall, Calder Valley CLT has been responsible for saving the Victorian signal box at Hebden Bridge Train Station, maintaining Fielden Hall in Todmorden, and their proposal for twenty low-energy and low-emission community homes on land between Heptonstall Road, Bridge Lanes, and Heptonstall Road is currently being reviewed by the planning department.
The third public meeting is on Monday 28th September and will discuss the impact of short-term lettings on housing in the valley, and creative ways that communities can address this key issue.
Guest speakers this time include Isaac Rose (Greater Manchester Tenants Union Community Organiser and Researcher), Local estate agents, and Emanuele Dal Carlo (Co-founder and president of Fairbnb.coop).
