The Campaign Begins

The campaign for more allotments for the residents of Glossopdale has truly started, with an article on page three of the Glossop Chronicle. GAFA presented a petition of 450 signatures to the local council asking for it to fulfil it's legal obligations to provide allotment space for those in the community who require it.

Hopefully this will get people talking and stimulate more 'would be' allotment holders to make their feelings known.

Any comments on the article or the allocation of allotments would be greatly welcomed within the usual parameters of decency of course!

Hi, is the petition still open? I have been on the council list for four years - no prospect of getting an allotment for years.

Hi Carole - we have currently submitted the petition to the council and have had a positive response (see latest blog) but if we can count on your support on the blog, tell all your friends about us and we'll keep the pressure up to get you an allotment sooner rather than later!
