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.
More information on the National Society for Allotment and Leisure Gardeners web site: The National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners, NSALG, Allotments, protect, promote, preserve, grow your own
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
1.
Write to your MP.
Fill in the official "Statutory duties webform".

Please, if you have any interest in preserving our great tradition of allotments, and locally produced, sustainable food, take action quickly. The web survey closes on 25th April.
