Bringing Democracy Home
The independent Commission on Co-operative and Mutual Housing launched its report Bringing Democracy Home on 24th November 2009 in Parliament at an event sponsored by the Co-operative Bank. With the support of housing minister John Healey MP, who officially launched the report, and Grant Shapps MP and Sarah Teather MP - the Conservative and Liberal Democrat Housing Spokespeople, the Commission's report calls for opportunities to live in co-operative and mutual housing to be available for all towns, villages and communities by 2030.
Nic Bliss, CCH Chair, a CCMH Commissioner, and the report's editor said that this report could be the most significant event in co-operative housing since the CCH set up in 1994. It has been hard work producing the report, not least gathering many contributions from many housing co-op members across the country, to whom we give heartfelt thanks - but we hope that this report will lead to a lot more work to deliver on the recommendations in the report to build the co-operative and mutual housing sector
