Hello Everyone, just received this so please act!
THE THREAT:
The Government has announced a "Review of statutory duties", aimed at identifying and removing duties from local authorities which are a "burden".
One of the duties they are considering removing is the duty to provide sufficient number of allotments for people in the area who want one. This means ALL allotments, including existing ones, not just new ones.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

Write to your MP.
