Hedge Planting at Calvert Way

26/3/2022

 
​We spent a beautiful sunny saturday morning planting a row of beech hedging on either side of the entrance to Calvert Way - ably assisted by little helpers. Many thanks to the Lake District Foundation for their grant, which covered the costs of the plants and sustainable compost from Dalefoot, and to Atkinsons for digging the planting trenches for us.

Winners of the NCLT Beautiful Community Led Homes Award

21/11/2021

 
​We are very proud to announce that at the National Community Land Trust Awards ceremony on 20th November, our Southey Court development was chosen as the winner in the category of Beautiful Community Led Homes. We think Southey Court is rather lovely, and to get this recognition is the icing on the cake.

We re-used the stones from the old church hall building in the exterior wall of our end house.

KCHT has been included as a case study on a number of websites:

16/2/2021

 
Since formation, KCHT has been fortunate to receive support, both financial and non-financial, from the local community, Local Authorities and Government Agencies.  In return we share our experiences of building houses as a CLT with other newly forming Community Land Trust groups and interested parties.

As a result KCHT has been included as a case study on a number of websites:
  • Reach Community Housing
  • Community Housing Project Development 
  • The Church of England Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on Housing 
  • CLT Toolkit Case Study

​Our new website is now under way and will be launched in early 2021.

KCHT has formed a lobbying sub-group

15/12/2020

 
Keswick is a special place to live and work in – positioned on the shores of Derwentwater, and surrounded by fells and woodlands.  Tourism is an essential element of life in Keswick however the rising proportion of properties being used as second homes or holiday cottages within Keswick and the surrounding area is depleting the housing stock available for the local community to buy or rent, and the rate that house prices have increased makes it very difficult for local people to buy a home or find one to rent.  As a consequence, the sense of ‘local community’ is gradually being eroded.
​
KCHT has formed a lobbying sub-group to working with the Keswick Town Council, and other interested parties.

Official opening of The Hopes

Picture
Cllr Andrew Lysser, who was county councillor for Keswick, prepares to cut the ribbon to officially open The Hopes shortly before Christmas 2013, watched by guests including residents and KCHT members. "The work that has gone into creating this is phenomenal. I thought the task would be impossible. To see it completed now is exceptional. I don't think you guys (the trust) will ever comprehend what you have achieved. It is very moving, The Lake District in general is suffering from a lack of genuinely affordable local housing. You can put local occupancy clauses on houses in Keswick but they still cost £250,000 to £300,000 and it doesn't relate to local housing needs if you are on the minimum wage, which a lot of people are," said Cllr Lysser.
