Community Empowerment Bill


Recommended Posts

Ok, any of you super informed people know anything about the allotments section of the Community Empowerment Bill or at what stage the bill is at.

My mother has suddenly decided that allotments are a really important issue to her I would however suspect that it is my father trying to feed her negative stories about the SNP from the telegraph since she had to double check what the nasty Nats were actually up to.

The issues seems to me that the Bill is trying to encourage Local Authorities to make more land avaialble for allotments to reduce waiting lists however there was not a minimum size being set so the fear was that rather than make more land available LA's would divide up the existing allotments to meet waiting list targets.

This is as much as I have managed to get from google but what I need to find out is are they still considering the comments and looking still open to setting a minimum size or has this been rejected and for what reason. I am not sure what stage the bill has reached in its progress to becoming an act.

To give you some insight to what I am dealing with my mother claimed that the SNP want to reduce the size of allotments but couldn't tell me why they would want to do such a thing. What they are actually wanting to do is increase the number of people who have access to one but if there is no minimum size then you could argue that smaller allotments could be a consequence but it is clearly not the aim.

I get utterly frustrated with Daily Telegraph readers that keep challenging me with the nonsense they read so any help appreciated before I phone back with the actual facts of the matter.

I just want the facts. Surely you can help being expert in all things SNP!

If it crops (chortle) up in the Star, I'll let you know :wink2:

I think you're just a plant.

I'm just trying to shed some light on our beloved government.

I wish you pair would leaf the gardening puns alone, it is soiling the thread.
