What I would like to know is where do they get
this figure from.
Anger is growing after the council announced it was putting up rents because each allotment costs taxpayers £240 to run each year.
What have the council ever done on any of the allotment sites, other than collect rents.
The allotment soceiety need to get a breakdown of these figures under the freedom of information act.
Thats if they really exist, and not just propaganda.
