Save Walsall Road Allotments

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Walsall Road Allotments are a thriving, multi-cultural community of 100 gardeners in north Birmingham. We are under threat of closure because the 2022 Commonwealth Games are taking place at the Alexander stadium which is in the same park where our allotments are situated.
There is plenty of other land in the park which could be used instead of taking our allotments away.

Please sign this petition and ask Birmingham City Council to reverse any decision to use the allotment land in any way for the Commonwealth Games.
