Default Manor Gardens Allotments petition

Manor Gardens Allotments are due to be demolished to make way for the
2012 Olympics(in spite of being granted the land in perpetuity ) and
have pleaded with the London Develop Agency to incorporate the
allotments into the overall plan. The allotmenteers have been offered an
alternative temporary site at some distance - too far for most users.
They are due to be evicted on 2 April.
I have no objection to the Olympics at all, but it seems tragic to lose
this community facility.

Cleve West wrote in The Independent recently about it. More details on
www.lifeisland.org
which also gives links to the Downing St petition against its move.
