Own it together
Make it affordable
Keep it forever
Commoning is a way to bring things like land, housing, energy and leisure facilities into community ownership.
Those things are managed together as a community to make sure they remain available for future generations.
Once in the commons, it’s owned by the Stroud community forever, and there’s no debt, shareholders or private landlords to pay.
