I’ve just read this article on the BBC which has cheered up my morning.  The shortened highlights are that the National Trust has released land on many of it properties to allow 1,000 new allotments to be created. This is great news and is very much in contrast with allotment closures that we have seen recently (our old site Cow Lane in Reading, Manor Park in London.)

If you are in local or national government, take note: people want allotments we do not need our exisitng sites destroyed for such things as a car park for a private company (network rail) or a footpath for the olympics.
