However, the CMO Team and RMG are available on a weekly basis to listen to any ideas and comments you have and we intend to hold regular director-resident surgeries.  Please email hello@cmo.org.uk with any comments or suggestions in the first instance,

The appointment of Directors is as set out in the S.106 and in The Articles.   

Each Developer signed to the S.106 had the right to nominate a CMO Director, up to a maximum of five CMO Directors.  As there are only four developers currently party to the S.106 this enabled Hodson Developments, as the lead developer to nominate two CMO Directors.  Once a developer has completed their build on site, they will lose the right to have a nominated CMO Director on the board. 

Both the borough council (Ashford Borough Council) and county council (Kent County Council) had the right to nominate one CMO Director each.  KCC decided to pass over their nomination for the first two years to ABC, resulting in ABC nominating two CMO Directors. 

The S.106 also allows for a CMO Director to be nominated to represent the Voluntary Sector.  The seven CMO Directors detailed above were asked for their nominations, resulting in the selection of an individual who has a wealth of experience in Housing Associations and community involvement (as a Parish Councillor). 

Once a Social Housing Provider is on site, they will get to nominate one Director. 

The first CMO Resident Director will be appointed by the Board (around 100 occupations) following a thorough selection process which is yet to be finalised.  Upon joining the CMO Board, each CMO Director completed a Skills Matrix and it is envisaged that CMO Resident Director appointment would look to fill any skills gaps within the CMO Board and/or bring a set of skills which would add value to the Board.  Each main phase will see one Resident Director join the CMO Board.  The second to fifth Resident Directors will be appointed by the CMO Members at an AGM. 

Covid-19 has had a direct impact on the CMO and at the moment the board has decided not to take over the CMO building until we can be sure we can operate it safely to safeguard residents and the CMO staff as well as provide access to residents in a meaningful way.  The Board is constantly reviewing this position. 

If you are looking to do this within Chilmington Green, then the CMO would love to help where it can.  Please email hello@cmo.org.uk in the first instance and speak to one of the team
