On-line Petition on 10 Downing Street Site for more Allotments.

[seasprout]

A lady on another (less used) forum has set up this site through the 10 Downing Street OFFICIAL site to petition the Government for more allotments throughout the UK.

I signed it.
Worth a look at least me thinks.

Tell your friends, you never know it just might work.

Your not the strange man who lives over the road who only comes out at night are you.?


It appears the link is not working now. Have i been moderated..?

[Mrs Dobby]

I signed it too, but I think their site has just gone down!

I was trying to start a petition myself, re festive lighting, shop signage and rural streetlighting being turned off after midnight when they are not really needed (especially the christmas lighting down our street that lots of folks have had on continually since the beginning of December! Ok, I dont mind it, but why have it on when its daylight or when its gone midnight and there's no-one around to see it? Just a waste of energy at those times imho!

[yoanbob]

im withyou mrs D, apart from the energy thing its also light pollution, means i can see diddly squat through my telescope.

[pigletwillie]

Er, No, I live in Humberstone!!

[ilex]

Signed it too! How many do you reckon they're going to want?

[JennieAtkinson]

Is it for allotments in Scotland too? or just England? Nothing meant by this comment, just wondered.

[Alice]

I think we should scrap this one. It's too political.

[Dobby]

Mrs D got one up too, about liting if you wont to sign it its here

[Alison]

Have just signed both petitions so whatever the problem was previously with the first link, it's OK now.

[unconcerned]

Great link, thank you.
Am 5th in line for my local one.
Been waiting nearly a year already.

[Mrs Dobby]

Good luck with getting a plot Julian! Whereabouts in the uk are you? Have you checked the Plot finder forum on the vine?

[unconcerned]

Shrewsbury.
Where do I find the plot finder?
Thanks!
