In many models of Mathematical Physics, based on the study of a Markov chain $\widehat \eta= \{\eta_{t}\}_{t=0}^{\infty}$ on ${\mathbb Z}^d$, one can prove by perturbative arguments a contraction property of the stochastic operator restricted to a subspace of local functions $\mathcal H_{M}$ endowed with a suitable norm. We show, on the example of a model of random walk in random environment with mutual interaction, that the condition is enough to prove a Central Limit Theorem for sequences $\{f(S^{k}\widehat \eta)\}_{k=0}^{\infty}$, where $S$ is the time shift and $f$ is strictly local in space and belongs to a class of functionals related to the H\"older continuous functions on the torus $T^{1}$.
