Fight Edinburgh Allotments Rent Rise

Thanks, 38 Degrees, for facilitating this. The Council backed down. Now there's a new 38 Degrees petition to save Telferton allotments in Edinburgh from the predations of a housebuilder.

Remove the provision in the Draft Budget Proposal 2015-16 that will generate an extra £150,000 from allotment holders.

Why is this important?

It's unfair and contrary to Allotment legislation.
It breaches an agreement that governs prices in Edinburgh.
It will make allotments unaffordable.
It is prejudicial against the poor, disabled and elderly.
It would make Edinburgh allotments the most expensive in the UK.
It is contrary to healthy living policies of Council and Government.
