Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Commonhold is not merely an alternative to leasehold ownership, but a radical improvement on it.

The publication of our Commonhold White Paper today is the beginning of the end of the feudal leasehold system.

LEASEHOLD CAMPAIGNERS WRITE TO GOVERNMENT FOR URGENT ACTION NOW
On Friday 22nd November the National Leasehold Campaign, End Our Cladding Scandal (EOCS) and Leasehold Knowledge Partnership (LKP) wrote an 'open letter' to the Secretary of State of Housing, Communities and Local Government to stress the urgency to reLEASE Leaseholders and deliver Leasehold Reform which currently leaves millions trapped and suffering.  Dear Angela & Matthew, Millions of Leaseholders have been in a state of ‘Leasehold Limbo’ since 2017 through years of broken promises and snail pace reforms.
