Its a simple point. The Council has got no money. It has to take some very difficult decisions, and one decision they are making is to make the allotments self financing. If that is going to cause hardship to some people, then it is right that they fight it.

If the loudest noises are being made by people who CAN afford the rent increase, then they should realise the reality of the situation.

Its not divide and rule. Its asking people to put their hands on their hearts and be realistic in the current financial climate.
