THE NEW VOICE OF THE ALLOTMENT MOVEMENT

SWCAA ARE LOOKING FOR ACTIVE LOCAL GROUPS TO JOIN US IN SUPPORTING THE MODERN DEVELOPMENT OF ALLOTMENT GARDENING

New Allotment petition please sign here at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/more-allotments/

It is becoming more evident that there are not enough allotments to go around. After years of neglect and councils selling off our precious green spaces supply can no longer meet demand. Everyone wants an allotment; all across the country waiting lists are long with some people being told they will have to wait up to seven years in some cases, but most people can expect at least a two year wait.

We are concerned about the lack of allotment sites across the country and believe more should be being done to protect the sites we have and that Councils and developers should be forced to make provision for allotments or community gardens when building new developments.  The SWCAA urge everyone out there who is stuck on a waiting list to take action. Councils will use excuse after excuse of reasons why they can't provide more allotments we need to show them that there are plenty of reasons why they should. Find out what steps to take HERE

ALLOTMENT SITE REGISTER

We are in the process of setting up an allotment site register. If you have an allotment or are part of an association please can you take the time to register your allotment site with us. This register will enable us to get a better idea of allotment provision across the Uk. We only require a small amount of information, find out more here
