There is a consultation, but it looks like it was not made widely public until 5 days after the consultation had actually closed - according to the newspaper.

selling off allotment land for social housing

Yet I see plenty of brown sites that could be used for this.

My brother put his name down for a allotment a few months ago, looks like he isn't going to get one by that article 🙁

This is another example of the stupid thinking of the upper class twits who get to run the country these days!

And this applies to all parties!!

Excluding from the top jobs in politics, capable people of all backgrounds and who have real life experience, is a very dangerous thing!

As things stand, we really may as well not have a democratic system any more!

The Westminster political machine is well and truly broken!

Truth is there's loads of land which is unsuitable for building on, which could be turned into allotments. Just needs enough people interested, to put enough pressure on local authorities to make it happen. Doesn't necessarily have to cost much, and could benefit communities enormously.
