I keep hearing these big numbers of 400% and 700% but no one has yet posted anywhere I have seen how much they are paying per rod now and how much it will be after the proposed increase so we can compare with allotments in other authorities.
I posted on the facebook group how a local authority lost in court with massive increases. Here is a link to the case report
