Paul campaigning for more allotments

I am campaigning for more local allotment sites to meet the demand from local residents for new allotments. Telford and Wrekin Council have a long waiting list for council run allotment sites. Under current legislation any group of six or more residents who are registered on the electoral roll can make a formal application to their local authority to provide more allotment sites. The House of Common’s Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee recently published a report calling for the Government to require local authorities to publish, within three years, a plan setting out how it proposes to meet the demand for new allotments. Please contact me if you would like to join my campaign for more allotments.
