Closing down notice

  In late 2020, Catalyst Housing Limited were appointed as the developer on the St. Ann’s site. They ran a public engagement programme, and in July 2022 applied for planning permission with the aim of starting work on the site in late 2022/early 2023. In 2021, StART made the decision not to apply for the 50 community-led homes which we had fought to be included in the tender for the site; instead StART supported other groups who wanted to pursue this avenue. For a number of reasons, we feel StART is no longer the right instrument to work towards getting the best results for the community from the site. The StART membership therefore decided to close the organisation in July 2022.

  

Our website is here for information and for those who wish to learn how StART developed and fought for the best outcome on the St.Ann’s site for the local community.

  

We do not monitor this site and from the date of the closure of the organisation, there will no longer be a way to contact us.

  

Thanks to everyone for all the brilliant work you/we put in and a big thank you to all those throughout the UK and the world who supported our dream. You know who you are.
