Legacy Park Allotments – our survey
June 24th, 2008 by admin
If you live within reach of the Olympic park and have ever thought about getting an allotment plot, you can help our campaign by registering your interest through our survey.
We believe that substantial areas of allotments will be the best possible use of the land that will be available in the Olympic Legacy Park post-2012, and we want to do everything possible to make this happen.
Plentiful allotments will not only help address issues of local food production and rising food prices, but are highly beneficial for people’s health and well being, are a major contribution to biodiversity, enliven the landscape and are a vital social resource and community asset.
We know that there can be waiting lists of up to 5 years for a plot on existing sites in some of the Olympic Boroughs, but to be able to objectively demonstrate the scale of interest in and demand for allotments we have commissioned our own survey, with the responses being processed by a professional survey company.
20,000 leaflets have been distributed with local newspapers, but you can print it out and send it with your contact details to Manor Garden Allotments c/o Shelton Associates, Freepost SF186, SHEFFIELD S17 3LE.
