英国萨默塞特郡弗罗姆镇的社区再生计划遭到重挫。萨默塞特委员会决定将镇中心5公顷地块出售给伦敦房地产投资公司Newcore Capital，而非由当地社区主导的Mayday Saxonvale项目开发1。这一决定使超过1000名居民的努力付诸东流。
这些居民为Mayday Saxonvale项目筹集了近100万英镑，计划在该地块建设住房、工作场所、河滨公园和游泳池1。项目还获得了社会影响基金Resonance的120万英镑投资，为该基金的单笔最大投资额1。萨默塞特委员会将地块以约300万英镑的价格售予Newcore Capital，交易不附带任何条件限制1。
镇议员Sara Butler对这一结果表示失望，称之为"毁灭性的消息"1。Resonance开发社区主管Jon Rolls警告存在"真实风险"，即萨克森韦尔将成为对社区进行的再生方案，而非由社区自身推动的项目1。
Somerset Council has decided to sell a five-hectare central site in the town of Frome to London-based property investment company Newcore Capital, rejecting a community-driven alternative backed by over 1,000 local residents 1. The decision has sparked significant disappointment among residents who had raised nearly one million pounds to support the Mayday Saxonvale project, which would have represented one of Britain's largest community-led regeneration initiatives 1.
The proposed Mayday Saxonvale scheme aimed to transform the plot through the construction of housing, workspaces, a riverside park, and swimming facilities 1. The project had secured 1.2 million pounds in investment from Resonance, a social impact fund, marking its maximum investment amount 1. However, Somerset Council agreed to sell the land to Newcore Capital for approximately 3 million pounds with no restrictive conditions attached 1. Town councillor Sara Butler described the decision as "devastating" 1, while Jon Rolls, community development director at Resonance, warned of a "real risk" that Saxonvale would become a regeneration scheme imposed upon the community rather than one driven by it 1.
