Just to let you know that the allotments at eastleigh in Hampshire are in the high court today. the council want to take them over and give the to developers to build on! That's the story on BBC "south today" local news, that's with a (I belive) a 600 people waiting list for a plot
In the clip ( can't find a link yet off the website) his soil looks good I wish it was mine, saying that he has been working that land for the last 30 years
It's a BIG day for the rights of allotments and their keepers

Hi kimbobill. It's all to do with money, isn't it. The more people that get involved the better chance of keeping the allotments. Somebody needs to get a petition up and running to show the council that they are on the wrong track. Best of luck.

F*cking hell!
Where is the sensibilityt these days? The house that are going to be built will have postage stamp gardens so that the inhabitants will be forced to go to the nearest supermarket.
The soil is wasted.
Someone needs to start getting a clue about this kind of stuff. In a few years, all of our food will be imported because we will have built f*cking houses on everything.
Sorry for the language...
