Gittisham Group (Save Gittisham)

The Gittisham Community have mostly succeeded in their aim of keeping residents in their homes of many years. Most of the village properties under threat have been bought by the Northumberland & Durham Property Trust. The Trust has given positive assurances which have been welcomed by the community. Three of the larger properties have not been bought and families in these and in one small cottage still face an uncertain future.

The Gittisham Community Group still have more work to do. We have learned a lot and achieved so much from our research and our campaign. We will not let this go to waste while there is still an affordable housing crisis in Devon and elsewhere.

We hope to make the most of our raised profile to encourage responsible management of existing rented housing and to promote the availability of affordable rented homes to maintain the necessary diversity of communities.
