3 Chairman’s Report
Flegg CLT started in 2018 with an agreement to move forward with the support of Debbie
Wildridge. Solicitors were appointed in July 2018 with the first formal mee1ng taking
place on the 27th September 2018 Flegg CLT was finally legally formed on the 12th
December 2018 GYBC provided a start up grant of £5,000 but it wouldn’t have been
possible without the invaluable support of Debbie Wildridge provided by Locality’s
Eastern Region.
All the local Parish Councils were contacted seeking support. Rollesby, Stokesby,
Martham and Somerton were the first members and several gave generous dona1ons.
Membership is open for further members for a minimum fee of £1 for life1me
membership.
There are 5 Trustees at present: Robin Neve, Shaun Day, Terry Harper, Andy Grant, and
James Bensley, and soon to be joined by Bruce Sturrock.
Claudia Dickson was taken on as secretary on the 13th November 2019 keeping us legal
and moving forward.
The previous chair, Noel Galer, resigned earlier in the year and I was elected on the 26th
February. Things have been a bit slow since then due to the pandemic but we are ge`ng
things back on track via Zoom.
Paul Hooper resigned as a trustee and Vice-Chairman at the last mee1ng as he is leading
Martham’s campaign against development in the village so felt there was a conflict of
interest.
Flegg CLT covers 6 wards and 16 parishes. Great Yarmouth has their own and separate
CLT. In 2012 the Flegg CLT area had a popula1on of 26,052.
The first community expressions of interest were taken in Somerton. It looked at
affordable housing but went wider than that. Housing was high on residents agenda but
to be aimed at local people. Somerton has been re-consulted recently with the CLT
looking to spread wider to find out people’s priori1es.
Talks have taken place with a few landowners looking for a mix of sites or maybe exis1ng
proper1es to refurbish, this includes the Borough Council.
There have been a few glitches in getting the website up and running and the CLT could
do with some help.
