I live in a one bed flat with my two children, and no garden. We're lucky enough however, to have an allotment, which I took on whist pregnant. We built a structure to help contain the kids, away from the other allotment hazards, however the council have told me to rip it down or they will kick us off. 

Middle Park allotment is full, of make shift shed shacks, bish bash bosh greenhouses, and poly-tunnels that would give dartford tunnel a run for their money. But the council have singled out my structure, as they said the allotment is not for playing, and only for growing. 

How miserable, and incorrect. As the structure is also used for growing. 

I have pleaded with the council, but they will not budge. Allotments are hard work, especially with no machinery, or car and soil as dense as the road. So much work has been put into it. They are also demanding a full bill to be paid in the next two weeks, despite being on a concessionary rate due to my circumstances. 


Please sign out petition, so we can save this structure, which not only benefits my children, but other children and single parents who use it to occupy their children whilst we dig.
