  • Landshare.net Let's grow update

    I am not sure if this has been posted yet or even if it is the right place but I noticed Landshare had an update on 24th May they have joined forces with The Independents 'Dig for Victory' campaign. This might be old news for some but if 6 people in a certain area request land to grow the Council has currently a legal duty to provide it and Landshare have set up a system whereby you can create a 'group' in your area. When a group reaches six people on the site the founder can click a button to send a pre-drafted letter directly to local councillors requesting an allotment."

    I know councils probably have all kinds of stalling tactics, loopholes etc but I think at the very least it may register to them there's a need if there are numerous requests. I set up my group for the SG4 postcode area just now (shameless plug).

    Hello, I currently have an alloty in Bury, Lancashire, but I am looking for one which I can have livestock, mainly chickens, as I have previously been told, that on our plots we are only allowed to grow veg and flowers etc ?

    Would anyone have any advice where I can get an alloty, which includes Livestock, I guesss like a small holding. Hope someone can help with this ?

      Apparently the allotment act (of ???) says you can keep rabbits and chickens on official alotment sites. I don't know if this helps tho, but it might be worth some research to see if you can challenge any decisions? I know that when we set up our new site this year I told the comittee members that by law we couldn't ban it, and after some research they agreed, and thus we are allowing poultry on our site with the express permission of the comittee.
      I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!
