Sign the petition to save Manor Gardens allotments!

I just find out today about this petition to save Manor Gardens allotments. I just ended up reading a leaflet about that at the Pogo cafe in Hackney (I recommend strongly the fresh apple juice with ginger on a grey sunday morning! - cool logo too - see picture).

The allotments are going to disappear following the buidling of the Olympic site!! just read this messages below from people who have allotments there... it tells everything... Sign the petition now and visit the lifeisland.org site for more info about the campaign

‘I bring my grandchildren here and show them how to grow tomatoes and strawberries. On Sundays we get together and have a drink. We have so many different people of all ages and backgrounds who have been coming here for years. If they bulldoze over the allotments our stories are gone.’

‘I’ve been coming here since I was seven when I used to come with my father. It means I don’t have to buy vegetables contaminated by fertilisers from the supermarket. It will be devastating to lose the site.’
