This report from The Guardian makes it look like the HCFA has arrived just in time! :-D [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jan/04/grow-your-own-unused-land-2030]Grow your own food revolution plans to seed unused land [/url] [quote]The government plans to launch a "grow your own" revolution by encouraging people to set up temporary allotments or community gardens on land awaiting development or other permanent use. It aims to develop a "meanwhile" lease to formalise such arrangements between landowners and [b]voluntary groups[/b] and is considering establishing a "land bank" to broker better links and ensure plots are not left idle. Ministers believe the move could foster community spirit and skills as well as improve physical and mental health.[/quote]
