The Issue
Save Walsall Road Allotments
Walsall Road Allotments are a thriving, multi-cultural community of 100 gardeners in north Birmingham.
We are considered by many to be one of the best allotment sites in the country and have appeared on many television programmes, including 8 times on the BBC One Show and twice last year on BBC’s Gardeners World.
We are under threat of closure because the 2022 Commonwealth Games are taking place in the same park where our allotments are situated. The Council are looking at a wider master plan for the site, and this includes the land occupied by the allotments. There is plenty of other land in the park which could be used instead of taking our allotments away.
We care for seven (formerly) feral cats who will all be homeless if the allotments are taken away.
Please sign this petition and ask Birmingham City Council to reverse any decision to use the allotment land in any way for the Commonwealth Games.
