LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND THE PROVISION OF LAND FOR ALLOTMENTS

Early day motion 1008, tabled 9 March 2009 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 58 members.

That this House recognises the importance of allotments within the local community; notes local authorities' statutory obligation to provide land for allotments is not being met; further notes that demand from the public for allotments exceeds current provision and is increasing; and calls on the Government to bring forward legislative proposals to deliver an increase in the volume of land provided by local authorities for allotments.
