London's vanishing allotments The Guardian reported this week on the threat faced by allotmenteers in London, where research from the London Assembly has found that more than 1,500 plots have been lost over the past decade, equivalent to 54 football pitches. - despite rocketing demand. I haven't got around to reading the full report yet, but you can dig into it here. Thousands of people are on waiting lists for plots in the capital, and the wait can be as long as 10 years. The law dictates that if six council tax payers petition the local council for allotments, the authority is obliged...
