The Allotment Handbook

The Allotment Handbook
– A guide to promoting and protecting your site

by Sophie Andrews

Although this edition was last updated in 2005 a lot of the contents and  strategies outlined are still  relevant today.  Allotments are a vital yet often overlooked part of our towns and cities.  They provide access to growing and open space that  is becoming increasingly rare as new housing is created with ever smaller gardens.  However they are increasingly coming under threat of development is land prices soar in space is needed to expand our cities, towns and villages.

Starting with a brief history of allotments and a look at the legislation surrounding them, this book shows how you can make your allotment site part of a thriving, local community. And if the worst happens, and your site comes under threat, how to organise yourself to stop developers in their tracks.
