Oatlands Leisure Gardens had a very successful Open Day yesterday.  A lot of people attended and signed up for a space, which makes our argument to the developer Gladedale and the Council's "Regeneration" Department stronger.  We say that they should build the proposed new allotment space (which would be much smaller) and keep the existing plots.  Gladedale seems hellbent on building on the allotment space, even though the flats they are building aren't selling.

Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera, but photos were taken and I'll post them up as soon as I get them.

If anyone is interested in seeing the allotments, email me, or ring me on my mobile: 07506867356.  As Oatlands allotments are classed as "Private" as opposed to council allotments, you don't need to live near them to get a spot.  You would be put on a waiting list and a lot would depend on how well we do in our struggle to keep these plots.
