The National Allotment Society is calling on all allotmenteers to help secure the future of allotments. They are calling for support for Amendment 4 to Clause 47 of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which would require councils to include a clear policy for allotment and community garden land in their spatial development strategies. This simple amendment will help protect and create these vital spaces.

“Without action, we could risk losing these valuable green spaces forever. Supporting this amendment will help safeguard allotments for future generations, promote healthier lifestyles, and strengthen communities.”

Please lend your support by contacting your MP and asking them to support Amendment 4 to Clause 47. You can download the letter the National Allotment Society have prepared and send it to your local MP to show your support and protect our allotments for the future.
