Just when we are all being squeezed financially as tight as possible the Lib Dem/Labour/Ind coalition decide to double allotment rents. So those, like me, who like to work hard for their family in the open air, are being squeezed even further. Vicky was not happy and asked what she could do to help - we decided that she should tell the Council that she was not happy and she spoke at Cabinet last week. I was very proud of her - she was then interviewed on BBC Essex as well. I don't know if we can afford to keep the allotment on - doubling the rent is punishing those who work hard - just to prove that Labour are running the show again! Still hope I get some sprouts like last year!
