I was very sorry to read at Veg Cottage that a thriving 100 year old allotment site in Stratford is to be bulldozed for a temporary through path for the olympic park. There is a petition to try and stop this from happening - click this link to view the petition and add your name if you wish to help.
From the petition website, the petition creators write:
"Manor Garden Allotments lies in the middle of the Olympic Park site. These beautiful, productive vegetable gardens are due to be demolished to make way for a four-week footpath during the 2012 Games despite the land being given in perpetuity. A campaign is underway to protect the allotments and encourage a more imaginative Olympic development which includes this special place with its healthy, green lifestyles and vibrant community."
