Farm Terrace Judicial Review Decision

The Society is delighted that the Farm Terrace campaign group in Watford were victorious in the Judicial Review that they brought against the latest decision to dispose of their allotment site.

The group are to be applauded for all their hard work and application. The support they have amassed around the UK is an illustration of the strength of feeling around this issue amongst allotment holders and others, who appreciate the benefits of local sites to their communities.

We anticipate that the Judicial Review ruling will ensure that, in future, councils are open and transparent about their plans when they apply to dispose of allotment sites; this includes any subsequent applications by Watford Council.
