Ban councils from selling allotments

Petition Details

We want the government to rescind permission given for local councils to sell council owned allotments. Prevent any further sales and permissions being granted.

Additional Information

We think the value allotments provide for people is well beyond financial. We believe benefits like supporting mental health and wellbeing, creating community and/or a sense of belonging, the ability to produce own food and learning opportunities, far outweigh the benefit of selling them.
