Just as a comparison, how much are the gypsy's charged in rents at the sites that have been provided for them.
If allotment rents do go up, to the amount wanted by the robbers at the clown hall, then it would be far cheaper buying veg at any supermarket, after you've bought all the seeds, tools & all the other stuff to work your allotment, your own veg must cost a packet..
