Uk Councils Raise Allotment Rents To Plug Holes In Their Finances!


Recommended Posts

UK Councils raise allotment rents to plug holes in their finances. Cheeky sods! 'Generally' a pastime of the working class on housing estates. Allotments are one way of keeping fit, active and socialising with like-minded people. What a travesty.

I suspect the local councils want to drive allotment holders from the land. Then they can build flats. Residential properties generate income from council tax income. 

 

I don't know about Sheffield but in Rotherham there are quite a lot of  blocks going up. Even the shops are being knocked down.
