Stevenage Borough Council should introduce flexibility within allotment cultivation rules for tenants experiencing illness, disability, bereavement, caring responsibilities and other genuine hardships. Sign to support a fair and compassionate review of the current policy.

“I am a Stevenage allotment holder who has seen first-hand how difficult life events such as illness, disability, caring responsibilities, and bereavement can affect a person’s ability to keep up with cultivation requirements. Allotments provide enormous benefits to physical and mental wellbeing, and I believe tenants facing genuine hardship should be offered support and flexibility before risking the loss of their plot. This petition is not about lowering standards; it is about ensuring a fair and compassionate approach for those going through difficult times.”
