The spirit of the community in Totnes will not be broken. This is a setback but it is not the end. atmosfortotnes AtmosTotnes (Totnes Community Builders)



A community tends to its broken hearts, with love, rage and sadness. ❤️ atmosfortotnes



Dear Angela Rayner. An idea for you #1: If you want to get houses built, and avoid landbanking, how about saying that developers now need to start paying Council Tax on a house from the moment planning is granted? It would really help. Thank you Toby Lloyd Guy Shrubsole

Dear Angela Rayner An idea for you #2: Revise Community Right to Build powers so that once a community has run a community consultation, masterplanned a site, and won a local referendum on its plans, it acquires the power to CPO that site. Transformative Toby Lloyd Guy Shrubsole

What the UK needs right now is the Community Power Act proposed by We're Right Here: the campaign for community power. Includes an actual, meaningful, Right to Buy, that would make projects like ours possible and challenge the power of landbankers like Fastglobe who trample on local peoples: right-here.org




Wonderful 'Fifth Anniversary of Nothing' today in Totnes. Speeches by Ruth Ben-Tovim Rob Hopkins Guy Shrubsole followed by the tying of 1,854 hand-numbered tags to the former Dairy Crest site fence. The UK urgently needs a Community Right to Buy with real teeth. #AtmosTotnes
