Allotments
Debate between Lord Flight and Baroness Williams of Trafford
Baroness Williams of Trafford
My Lords, I agree with the noble Baroness that the process needs to be speeded up. We have done well in local authorities producing neighbourhood plans, but speeding them up will be considered by CLG, because the noble Baroness is right: such blockages need to be addressed.
Lord Flight (Con)
Do the Government know how many thousands of people have their names down for allotment plots when they come up, as a measure of the unsatisfied demand?
Baroness Williams of Trafford
My Lords, I am sure that the Government know, and I will provide my noble friend with those figures in due course.
