allotments

Options
I have come across the following petition, which can be signed online, its a request to the government to increase the amount of land made available to allotments.

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/allotments/

I do believe that the value of allotments is immense, both to the community, healthwise and also increases greenspaces for wildlife, helps surface drainage etc etc

I have signed it and wondered if others would like to as well....

    Hi all

    There is currently a petition about the gvt not allowing councils to sell allotments on, but keeping them open.

    It's always worth a punt in my opinion, so if you are interested in keeping a major money saving resource, then please sign and pass this link to anyone who you think would be interested.

    Many Thanks ;)

  • Thanks for this. Makes my blood boil, we have an allotment and over the years the council has been nicking plots on the sly and all of a sudden the museum is having a large extension built - you've guessed it - on the land pinched from the allotments! Now I am reading in the local paper that two allotment sites are up for grabs for building new houses on. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
