#allotments

There are not enough allotments in Glasgow and indeed across the UK. While the company Roots and other private allotments have a place, they can never be a replacement for local authority ones. Under the 2015 Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act, Scottish local authorities have a duty to provide allotments. We need to find more space in our cities for them spaces that have been proven to improve mental and physical health, at an affordable price.

The successful exhibition at Hornsey Library raised funds for Shepherds Hill Allotments, highlighting the importance of community support for necessary site improvements and maintenance.
