Hello and happy belated new year from Greater Manchester Commoners Co-operative! We've been quiet on here but that's only because we've got lots of exciting work going on behind the scenes- hopefully we can share it soon! 🏡🌱🌍
A lot of people ask us – "what would you have on this site instead?" We are not campaigning to keep a ruined pub. The land should be used for something useful for our community – not another PBSA block. Age-friendly social housing is our vision. Something Hulme needs.
Great meeting at Kim's Kitchen discussing recent developments in the co-op and our next steps. After our meeting we watched a film about Manchester's housing crisis + community resistance to unaffordable developments, including the inspiring @blocktheblock1 campaign in Hulme! ✊
🔔Know Your Rights Training Thurs 23rd November🔔Join us at Northern Monk from 7-9pm for a training session to learn about your rights and meet fellow locals fighting for better renting conditions in South Manchester!

We had a great time at our Forum last night: new connections made, plans hatched, contact details swapped and future events invented. The biggest needs identified were LAND, FINANCE and MEMBERS although there were also offers of LAND and ADVICE. #GM #community #networking
