Following up to Jaques d'Alltrades

I just heard my council as decided to close down most of its
allotments, including mine. Any comments on opposing this
welcome.

Are the allotments (in the main) being used?

that's the silly thing, recently lots of new people have taken
them up, we are now back up to nearly all the ones in the centre
being used, the rest would need tree clearance to reactivate. The
latest person to try and take one up has been refused.

If you do get up a petition, the views of householders near the
allotments are the most important to canvas.

We are deep in parkland, so no neighbours but one of the other
sites is rumoured to be earmarked to be used as a hostel for
mentally ill. Now what rumour can *I* start? :-)
