Default Allotments turned into a carpark!?!

Read this in the local Sunday rag this week.

See bottom of page 10 "Convert Allotments": PageSuite Professional :: Reader

I know it's April fool's day, but this is no joke.

This is not the allotment I am on, but still there must be some people who are furious!?

i think we should find Mr Compton's address and all write snotty letters to him, again it seems that its the attitude of some people to solve problems such as parking that the allotments are a viable target for development. he seems to be a bit of a NIMBY.

Thank goodness that this is just one of those typical 'Letters to the Editor' type rants and not definite council policy. Fortunately I live in a city which hates the motor car so much that they're more likely to do this the other way around. In fact, what a brilliant idea - anyone else for a turn car-parks into lotties campaign?
