The hike in price will deter young men and women like myself to pursue an allotment.

An allotment introduces healthy eating, knowledge on sustainability and the environment. Making such a valuable resource unattainable is wrong. If the price goes up i am very unlikley to be able to afford an allotment and to denie this to the public is a crime
