Reverse the decision to give councils the green light to sell off allotments

The UK is facing a crisis of shrinking green spaces and ecosystems to make way for housing developments, and many towns have already lost a staggering amount of allotments over the past decades that are hugely valuable as community assets. These sites improve biodiversity, are great for learning and mental health, and are vital community hubs. They can also provide food for communities in a cost-of-living crisis. National and local governments should strive to protect what sites are left.
