Whether it plans to introduce legislation to ensure greater protection for allotment holders.
The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it plans to introduce legislation to ensure greater protection for allotment holders.
The answer
Allotments are essentially a local matter, in which the local authority is best placed to assess the needs of the inhabitants of its area, develop policy on allotments and administer allotment provision as they best see fit.As such, there are no plans to introduce greater protective legislation. We will be looking at the role of best practice guidance on allotments.
