Just saw this on a Southwark newsletter.


"The Council is committed to creating more opportunities for community gardening and food growing and is launching an Allotment Expansion Guarantee in 2021.


If you live on or near a Southwark Council estate and you would like to create new food growing plots, the council can support you. The Community Gardening Coordinators will work with groups of residents to plan, build and run growing spaces on LBS land.


Tell us about where your community would like to grow food and we'll be in touch as the campaign launches.


Enter your email below and we'll let you know when this Commonplace is ready."


The interactive site hasn't launched yet but you can register to be notified when it launches.

(Am conscious I have started a couple of new threads today. Having signed up to a whole bunch of council alerts I keep coming across things that I think people might be interested in. If I get boring someone tell me to stop!)

I think most of the links you?re posting will be of interest to some people. I do wonder though whether posting in the general ED issues section is the appropriate place as many apply to the whole of Southwark, not just ED, and would be more appropriate posted in The Lounge. Similarly, the one you posted earlier about pupil places might be better off in the Family Room.
On a related note there are plenty of community gardens looking for volunteers (although I expect that this will be on hold at the moment). Not sure where the closest to SE22 is but if you come over Lewisham direction there are many - Devonshire Road, Sydenham Garden, Wild Cats, ones popping up by other railway lines towards Telegraph Hill and Crofton Park. I'll put up links if people are interested, perhaps in a separate thread.

I?ve often thought of this programme over the years, but it?s very relevant now and could be here in Southwark


Monty Don visits 80 gardens around the world, and they?re beautiful. But the ones in Cuba are my favourite. I?ve added this link and the Cuba part is nearer the end. Have a watch, it?s really inspiring.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
