Since CCLT was launched, residents of Chilbolton have had the opportunity to sign up as members. But what rights and responsibilities do the official rules confer?

In preparation for TVBC’s Northern Area Planning Committee meeting, Cllr David Hall has circulated a letter which makes the Chilbolton Residents Group’s case.

Back in December at the big Village meeting, it was claimed that residents in the unmade section of Drove Road would be “grateful” if it were to be tarmacked over. chilbolton.news went to find out.

The Northern Area Planning Committee will be discussing the proposed Test Valley Farm development tomorrow. The meeting starts at 5:30pm. Test Valley Farm is second on the agenda.

Please note that the venue is Upper Guildhall, High Street, Andover NOT Beech House

The work to establish Chilbolton Community Land Trust (CCLT) is underway. Community Land Trusts are an international phenomenon, that started in the United States. Here in the UK there are various ways of incorporating one, but the SWG have indicated that “CLT will be a charity (but regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, rather than the Charities Commission)”. This suggests that CCLT will be what is known as a Charitable Community Benefit Society (CCBS).
