Primary school to be extended onto allotment land (From Watford Observer)
Watford Borough Council has approved the use of a disused area of Callowland Allotments to be used to expand Orchard Primary School.
Even though the land has not been used as an allotment for more than 25 years, an application will need to be made to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Eric Pickles, before building work can begin
The controversial move has been strongly opposed by the plot-holders and also the opposition Labour group, arguing the project can be built without sacrificing the historic allotments
If they object why aren't they filling the unused area up with new people? No list?
