We think that the 17 page draft Allotment Rules and Regulations published by Sandy Paterson and his team on September 7^th is both far too detailed and at the same time far too vague (see our analysis below).

We suggest that Glasgow City Council, given its commitment to engagement, should provide additional time for a proper consultation (extension to November 31^st) which includes a face-to-face meeting open to all GCC plotholders and their committees. This meeting should allow plotholders the opportunity to clarify aspects of this proposal with the Food Growing Team and contribute to shaping the final version that goes forward for adoption.

We would like to invite you to an Open Meeting on Sunday October 22^nd at the Garnethill Multicultural Centre from 11.45 am to 12.45 pm to discuss the issues that these draft  Rules and Regulations raise for Glasgow’s plotholders and their committees.
