Petition amend parts of the allotment act 1922-1950 to allow more leeway for communities to make it more beneficial

More details

as we know allotments are empty and overgrown the land is devalued and due to be sold on or business investments for huge profit chains where minimum jobs will come of it, doing nothing for the community.
give this option to the communities and with the right people at the top, would generate over 100,000 jobs, knowledge, healthier eating, communities working together all in a non profit environment that runs itself.

.change the policies to allow trade on the allotment

.allow the keeping of pigs and other small cattle

.amend payment structure to allow more time for overgrown plots taken on and a discount for people taking on halfway through the year.
