just to say have you seen the post re the above, that i placed in General chatter? its not getting any response down there. Ive not had an allotment for 20 years i'm lucky enough now to have my own bit , but i did have one for 12 years and i think anything to do with supporting the allotment cause is a good thing...rgds paul.

Hi Paul,
In last weeks Horticulture Week magazine a comment from the Secretary of the NSofA&LG Geoff Stokes:
"The government want to swap words with action. It is crazy that the Deparment set up to save Allotments and open space is the same one calling for thousands of new houses." Makes you wonder though!!!
I suggest that is up to us all to lobby our MP's on this matter and it is a matter of urgency this is no time to be complacent.

Hi there

I'll be writing to my MP about this. Luckily, our local councilloe is fab and does a lot to help the site.

We need to keep hold of allotments at all costs, or at least make life as difficult as possible for the builders.
Lots of love

Lizzie
