| Surely you’d agree that the allotments are isolated and increasingly so since the closure of through traffic from Syon lane & church st.? Thus placing allotments users at risk. There are no toilet facilities at the present site. The Duke had kindly offered a site close to a garden centre and hotel with car park and CCTV, use of toilet facilities from the garden centre. Attempting to turn this into class warfare is ridiculous. The road closure which many people including local residents had strongly objected to, has turned the area into a crime ridden area. The present allotment site does not accommodate people needing to use using wheelchairs. This backward looking discrimination is why a new site, offering facilities & including paved access with raised beds is much needed. |
