At the Board Meeting held on 22 November 2017 John Reed resigned as a member of the Community Land Trust Board. The Board would like to thank John for his contribution to the development of the project so far.

At the same meeting Jim Little joined the Board of Directors to replace John. Before he moved to East Devon in 2010 Jim lived in Kent, where he worked as a press and campaigns officer for the Campaign to Protect Rural England. As part of his job he was involved with several projects delivering affordable housing on rural exceptions sites. He also helped promote a land trust which set up a community farm in the east Kent village of Wye. Jim’s continuing interest in rural affordable housing prompted his interest in the Upper Coly Valley Community Land Trust.
