ESSENTIAL ALLOTMENTS

In 1997, the price for an allotment for the poor to grow food was £22 a year. Legally, the local councils have a duty to provide enough allotments for the people to grow their own food. 

In 2008, the Guardian reported that 300,000 people held allotments, whilst 100,000 were on waiting lists. In March of that year, Geoffrey Stokes, secretary of NSALG, said that councils are "failing in their duty to provide allotment plots". Sustainability and food security can be assisted if and when the local councils ensure that any new development ensures that properties have gardens big enough to grow food, and also that those developers provide a large enough community space for each community to grow some of it's own food. 

Of course it would also help if local councils stopped selling off community land to property developers.
