| Comment | The same law that permits us to have a right to an allotment also allows provision for the council to charge a fair rent for that land and £12 per month as the upper limit of what they're planning to charge seems very reasonable. Anecdotally, it's significantly less than the private allotment that I live next to and none of those plots are as large as 250 metre square.
I see it as no different to the council charging people to use its swimming pools, football pitches, tennis courts etc via Glasgow Life. The council is famously skint so if the increased revenue generated from these allotments contributes to better public services for us all then I'm all for it |
