Nottingham City Council is planning to impose sweeping changes to how their allotment tenancies are handled and, most importantly, how much people are expected to pay for allotments. Allotment owners are objecting to these changes on a number of grounds and we want to highlight some of these to others who may be thinking of objecting.
Nottingham City Council is holding a consultation of changes to allotment tenancies, rent levels and plot allocation. They claim that the review "aims to encourage more people to get involved with growing food in Nottingham." In fact, the changes would involve the trebling of rents for allotments in Nottingham.
