The council currently rents this piece of land by Exeter Quayside for local residents to garden. Now the owner, Adrian Rogers, is planning to sell the site, and all allotment holders have been sent notices to vacate.
* Adrian is a Conservative candidate who ran against Ben Bradshaw in one of the elections.
* We could start a petition to the council to buy the land.
* It might actually be a legal requirement for the council to buy the land as they have a legal duty to provide people with allotment space.
Do you know anyone who owns an allotment at Trews Weir? Please email it to exactenvironmentalists@gmail.
* It was pointed out that a similar thing happened in Crediton. Local residents protested and won the battle to keep their allotment spaces. However in their case the local council already owned the land in question. More updates soon..
