Call for more allotments

[Tigger]

For all those waiting for allotments, it might be an idea to bring this to your MP's attention.

Interesting reading Tigger, but like lots of government schemes, promises and idea's it may not materialise and be all hot air............

Tigger. I wrote to my MP, no reply, maybe nearer the next election !

So why is Government so hell bent on concreting a lot more of our agricultural land with their new Eco Towns?
Food and its production is going to be a major World issue very soon, surely the powers that be are shooting themselves in the foot

It is understandable that many of us ordinary thinking folk want to take a bit more control of what we eat by taking on allotment.... this phenomenon will continue to grow I am sure

Maybe they think concrete is more beautiful. I had been to some Cambridge Gardens last year for example and I don't want to imagine seeing those gardens disappear just because someone in the government thinks they don't need them.
