Done, Good luck, a section of our allotment has been threatened with development but not 'officially' so we're up in the air uncertain of what will happen.

The same thing is happening in redbridge, All allotments in area are up for sale, four have more or less been sold. They are New North Road, Vicarage Lane South, TullwellAvenue, and Goodmyes Lane, The reason for the sale to make £25 000 000

All done. Our site contract was renewed last year for 10 years only. We could end up going down this road in 9 years time ourselves.

Done it for you all.
Have you noticed, here and on other lottie sites, how many sites are under threat?
Without getting too political, its down to Government policies and the desire for local authorities especially to maximise income and prevent themselves being further bullied by the big man in Whitehall.
Isn't it about time there was a countrywide survey and then a plan of action formulated to protest more widely against the devestation?
We may 'only' be the little people in life's grand design, but we have as many rights as the big boys!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

They want land for building, we have land, and neither councils nor Brown give a toss for us.

Would it beyond the "National" to organise a "National" response? At least widely publicise how many sites are under threat... general perception around here is that Lotties are having a renaissance...

Signed,
sorry to be the bearer of bad news, After many battles and High Court judgments we have finally lost our beloved allotments in Eastleigh.
This decision will now pave the way for future development of existing plot holders on sites through-out the country.
At least we held them up for five Years.
Extract from letter received today from borough council,,
I refer to your plot at the above allotment site.
I have been contacted by Barrett Homes who are interestd in clearing plots in the next few weeks.
As your plot is included in the above, Barrett's would like you to leave Monks Way by 24th August 2007. In exchange they will offer you £500 to leave and move any sheds or trees ( that can be moved). You will also receive your additional £100 for every 5 rods from the council.
Quite a sweetener eh ? :( :( :(
Good luck with your campaign.
Terry

We too are still under threat - heard nothing from the landowner or the agent, council seems to be on our side but agent is still refusing us access to the deeds of the land. We do have 2 lawyers ready and waiting to fight our battle and a fighting fund set up to pay for it... but together with the bad weather and the not knowing alot of us are losing heart.
Good luck and i hope you don't lose them.

Don't the last 2 posts show the increasing nature of the threat - the 'bribes' say it all to me!!
Is there any lottie-holder out there who has the legal expertise to advise on the situation? According to Govt figures, there are over 330,000 plotholders - thats enough to make a big noise anywhere.
I. for one, am prepared to put in a bit of spadework (sorry about the sad connection!) but we shouldn't just sit aside and let these things happen without supporting the areas in danger?
If it isn't you just yet, when will it be?
