It’s been a quiet month in some ways but also it also feels like the calm before the storm. We were supposed to be on a straw bale build mid month but that has been postponed until the end of September. That actually was good timing as I got terrible toothache that week and had to spend days at the dentist!
Three of us did spend a day in south London visiting Walter’s Way (www.segalselfbuild.co.uk/projects/waltersway,lewis.html) , a road of 13 Walter Segal single dwelling houses and Sanford Housing Co-op (www.sanford.coop).
Mark, who works for the co-op, arranged for us to meet some members. They were all 3 incredibly giving and open with their time and experience. Our project already owes so much to all the groups, architects and co-ops that we have met , who have gone before us, whether they be Radical Routes, Robin Hillier or Sanford. Everyone has been so generous and shared their hard won experience with us in this growing but still novice area of eco community development. Sanford were no exception. We thank them very much.
Sanford have a big annual event called Folkus Picnic, part of the Folkus Festival, 3 September, 12-6pm. LCHC will be there (see under 'news' on our website for more details). Come and say hello! It should be a great day.
We also have a meeting with Chris on the morning of the 3 Sept to firm up our new legal structure and our business plan. Then we start looking for investment … and the project will move to another level.
