Farm Terrace was our beautiful allotment site.The council wanted to build flats and a car park on it. We took the case to High court but in the end Goliath won.

This is what is happening because of allotment shortages "Woodbridge Town Council said to reduce its waiting list for plotsit decided to cap the tenancies to five years.
They said (the familiar line) " it was an extremely difficult decision" to make!
Those poor plot holders! – at Watford, East
I can’t believe what I’m reading on this article! 🤦♀️
Have any of you been effected by this or similar?…

Got mine! Go get your FREE @WatfordCouncil trees at Cassiobury Park today! You just need proof of Watford residency! Great work from all the Watford @VeoliaUK team 👏 🌳
If anyone is up early enough- I'm being interviewed by @BBC3CR counties about the loss of Farm Terrace Allotments and the council's budget for the provision for new allotments tomorrow morning at about 7.20! 👩🌾💷🌱🏢

Council has 'dug its own hole' after £550,000 earmarked to ease allotment 'demand' in Watford

So it turns out the hospital 🏥didn't need the extra land after all. We would love to say we are shocked but we said that would be the case right from the start!
My letter @Observer_Owl If the hospital is in the position to sell land then surely part of the #allotment land could have been kept as an allotment site? The hostility that Dorothy Thornhill and her council demonstrated does not seem justified now!

Read my comments about the land grab here... Watford Hospital does need a good (free) car park but putting it on the allotments which are quite far down if you are walking makes no sense at all! It really is paving paradise!

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Bug love to @SaveFarmTerrace and all the other plot holders at this site. Sadly the fight is continuing on other sites – at Bristol, England

Thank you @JulianHoffman for your support and your great work documenting our story. So sad it has come to this...
Building work has started
on Farm Terrace Allotments (looking towards Liverpool Road). Thank you Mark Collins for the photo. I have included a photo taken just a few years ago from a similar position. Just look at
how green it all was...
