    I know it's allotment related but think even those without a plot would like to sign

    Tell Eric Pickles that allotments must not be sold off! - e-petitions

    Tell Eric Pickles that allotments must not be sold off!

    Responsible department: Department for Communities and Local Government

    Eric Pickles, the Communities Secretary, is examining plans to free local authorities from a 103-year-old obligation to provide plots of public land for cultivation by gardeners. The proposals could see local authorities, many of them strapped for cash under government-imposed cuts, selling off allotment land for social housing or even for profit to major companies.

        I don't have an allotment but the deed is done. Another petition demanding MORE allotments would be a good idea.

                            This threat was from 2011 we all signed petitions then - it's too late now LOL!

                            This is all because the Independent recently repeated an old article originally printed in May 2011 !!

                            Recent guidance reinforced the 1925 Allotment Act.

                            the Independent knew that in 2011 !
