This is currently going the rounds of the net:

"Eric Pickles, the Communities Secretary, is examining plans to free local authorities from a 103-year-old obligation to provide plots of public land for cultivation by gardeners. The proposals could see local authorities, many of them strapped for cash under government-imposed cuts, selling off allotment land for social housing or even for profit to major companies."

Please note: I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this "news" as I have failed to find any mention of the "plans" in the media.

Pies were safe in his Bradford City Council days.

I thought the decision had shifted to local planning who had the power to relocate Allotments under certain legislation. I'm not altogether sure that the plot its self is protected only the right provide.
I'll let those with more brain power than me work it out :?
