I don't think people realise how upsetting it is to put years of effort into improving the land on your plot only to have it ripped away. I assume you've checked your legal position? Hope you manage to raise the money to buy the site. That’s really sad, Jim.

The land used is private land, but has been used as allotments since the 1920's. Sadly, the land owner has just died and, leaving no dependents, has left the land to charities. They in turn have passed the land into the hands of an estate agent to sell at auction. We have been give a termination of tenancy notice for September 2009, and are now in a situation of having to try and raise the money to buy the land or risk being turned off the land after all these years. Sadly, i feel we may well loose the allotments forever-how very sad! I am one of those working an allotment on the outskirts of Snarestone, Derbyshire.
