FLEGG COMMUNITY LAND TRUST
Flegg Community Land Trust (FCLT), was formed to work on behalf of all communities within the scope of the Northern Parishes of the Great Yarmouth Borough , comprising :-
Ashby with Oby, Caister-on-Sea, Filby, Fleggburgh (with Clippesby and Billockby), Hemsby, Martham, Mautby (with Runham & Thrigby),
Ormesby St Margaret with Scratby, Ormesby St Michael, Repps with Bastwick, Rollesby, Somerton, Stokesby (with Herringby), Thurne and Winterton on Sea
Community Land Trusts (CLTs) are a way for people from a village, neighbourhood, town or city to get together and create a non-profit organisation for the good of their community. Run completely by volunteers, a CLT strives to meet the long-term needs of its community by acquiring assets, for example building permanently affordable housing or workspaces, or acquiring the local pub, library or shop. These then stay owned by the CLT organisation forever.

Why did we form a CLT ?
CLTs help local organisations and people like you with important issues in your area :–
HOMES
CLTs provide homes for people with strong local connections to their community, at levels that are genuinely affordable.
AMENITIES
CLTs don’t just build houses, they can provide other assets for the community. This could include workspaces, recreational facilities, a shop, cafe or pub or anything that the community needs!
PERPETUITY
Homes and any other community assets are secured in perpetuity via a statutory asset lock. As such, CLT homes also fall outside the scope of the Right to Buy.
CONTROL
Ultimately, CLTs allow communities to take back control over the future development of their local area, and provide the homes and amenities that they want.
