Town hall bosses sell 50,000 allotments off while 'grow your own' demand soars | Mail Online
Town hall bosses have sold off or redeveloped more than 50,000 allotments in the past 15 years, despite soaring waiting lists and growing demand for ‘grow your own’ food.
A survey commissioned by the last Government – and then buried for five years – also showed that the number of allotment sites in cities, towns and villages fell by nearly 800 between 1996 and 2006.
The figures were revealed by planning minister Greg Clark as he pledged to boost allotments by giving communities powers to identify new sites and protect existing plots under the Localism Bill.
