@peterainbow #allotments absolutely need to work better - my local allotsoc held its AGM this year titled “Are allotments broken?”…. But allotments are a specific nut to crack with their own legislation to work on.

I am seeing the Right to Grow as a lever to improve things elsewhere - all the other patches of publicly owned council land which is poorly used for unlawful parking, sprayed with glyphosate, flytipped….

For the climate emergency and biodiversity cris and for future resilience we need to do *everything* *everywhere* and I think that #RightToGrow may be helpful for some of this?

Been reading about the "Right to Grow" - a policy place where councils must produce plans for their area showing available publicly owned land and community groups have the right to access it free of charge to grow stuff.

A few UK councils have gone down this path and am thinking about trying a campaign in my area.

Anyone done this sort of thing where they are?

RT @werepangolins: En 🇬🇧, organizaciones ciudadanas han comenzado una campaña por el derecho a plantar (#righttogrow). Pretende que las administraciones públicas favorezcan el uso de espacios verdes públicos en desuso para que las comunidades planten sus alimentos. 1/2
