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

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
Gutted to see the historic, 119-year-old Farm Terrace Allotments in Watford that I wrote about in IRREPLACEABLE being levelled this week for a multi-storey car park. Photos from one of my last visits to this remarkable place, whose loss hollowed out the heart of a community.

No school, no local park just a vanity project for the Lib Dem’s

2/2 We were told time and time again that it's destruction/subsequent developments would have an irreversible affect on the local environment and it's biodiversity. While I understand the need to build new housing the need to save and protect Green space is even more important.

1/2 Really thought provoking programme. Made me think about Farm Terrace and how Dorothy Thornhill and the Lib Dem Council conciously destroyed one of the biggest green spaces in the centre of Watford. bbc.in/32l4BEl

So sorry -,that’s terrible but as you say, not a surprise. Ours are under threat too - as extra cemetery land eventually.

Michael Gove has just announced that we can still go to the allotments. But please follow previous guidelines about this. Be sensible folks or they will lock them up. – at Watford, East

I thought it was only the Tories, but it seems even the Lib Dems have caught the People-Don't-Really-Matter-It's-The-Bottom-Line-That-Counts disease.
Absolutely no mention whatsoever of the 'new hospital' that the Lib Dems used as an excuse to make a land grab of Farm Terrace Allotments - watfordobserver.co.uk/news/1…
