Council Committee on Allotments

During discussions with Glasgow Allotments Association, I have become aware of the need to establish a Council committee with responsibility for the developing policy on all matters relating to allotments in the city. 

This committee can be established in keeping with the rules and regulations approved by Glasgow City Council on 21st September 1922 which are still operating today. 

The committee on allotments would have membership from councillors and six representatives from Glasgow Allotments Forum. Its priorities would be producing consultation documents on:-

1. management of sites including possibility of re-introducing area committees

2. new rules and a modern lease

3. strategy for implementation of new sites

It is hoped that the committee would receive the support of all political parties and ensure that the actions set out in the allotment strategy are fulfilled.
