Discuss your site’s next steps in relation to Glasgow City Council’s upcoming consultation on rules, regulations, and delegation of site management
Saturday 22 April 2023 @ 14:00 – 16:00
Some of you have written into us enquiring about what is happening about the consultation process we outlined earlier in the year.
Whilst there has been no official communication with us, we have reason to believe that the original timeline and sequence of events will be altered.
This meeting will be to discuss our (your) approach and next steps.

Why is this important?
As far as we know, the Food Growing Team intend to start with individual negotiations with each Allotment Association about the terms of delegation laid down by the Community Empowerment Act Section 123.
This section requires that each allotment association applies in writing to manage:
a) their waiting list
b) notice of termination and renewal of tenancy
c) spending of monies given for training or promotional purposes.
GCC’s Officers are then required to satisfy themselves that the association is capable of carrying out these functions and both parties must then sign an agreement to that effect which is to be regularly reviewed. They are currently discussing this matter with their legal team.
The implication at the moment seems to be that only once this negotiation has been completed for all the local authority’s allotment sites will the process of consultation on the new allotment regulations be carried out.
At present, GAF does not have any information about the revised timelines for all of this.
