Farm Terrace Allotments, Watford under threat from Local Authority. (email received 18th February)
Please help us to save Farm Terrace Allotments, Watford and help protect all allotment sites from future development.
Did you know that due to the relaxation in planning laws an increasing number of Allotment Sites in the UK are being sold off by Local Authorities or Parish &Town Councils for redevelopment?
Since 2007, 128 out of 132 applications to close or relocate allotment sites have been granted by the UK Government. Our own allotment site that has been in existence since 1896 is now under threat for a second time after we have previously launched a successful legal challenge in August 2013 against the UK government. We are now taking the Government to court for a second time and if successful, will help protect other allotment sites as a successful legal challenge by us will become case law. If you would like to know more about our story or wish to help in anyway please take a look at our website which has a link to our legal fund raising page -http://savefarmterrace.wix.com/savefarmterrace
Also, the BBC are currently filming the story of the fight to save the allotments which is due to be aired on BBC1 Inside Out London on Monday 3 March at 7.30pm.
Finally, please accept our apologies if you have already received a message from us.
