I've been following the fate of Manor Garden Allotments, the allotment site in London which is due to be bulldozed to make way for the 2012 Olympics.The BBC reported yesterday that an agreement had been reached to allow the plot holders access to their allotments until September, to harvest some of this year's crops. The official website for the Manor Gardens Allotments Society reported that they are cancelling the judicial review which was due to begin yesterday.
They seem resigned to their fate of moving site. John Matheson, chairman of the Manor Gardening Society, said
Our best hope was that we could have remained on the Olympic site in the course of the Olympics, but that seems no longer feasible, if it ever was. We shall now go into temporary exile for seven years, and then return to an Olympics legacy site once the games are over.

This breaks my heart. Although, more corporatism is somehow no surprise.
It just seems so sad. Many years of happy allotmenting destroyed for 4 weeks of games. Someone must be making a profit...
It is sad. I wish the Manor Gardens allotmenteers a bumper 2007 harvest, and I am sure they will make their new site productive between now and 2012. I hope the publicity will draw in new allotmenteers and new supporters, and I hope the experience of fighting the LDA has brought them together into a stronger community.
I also hope the 2012 Olympics are a big success. But it's a shame the organisers couldn't have been more creative in incorporating the treasures of the location, such as the green spaces that were already there, into the site to make something unique and special.
Wouldn't it have been great if they had decided to create a "sustainable olympics", with renewable energy, water saving, sustainable transport and recycling? The allotments could have been the focal point of a permaculture area. And then the "legacy" would be all that sustainable infrastructure for the area once the Olympics are over. What a huge benefit that would have been, and could have shown Britain to be a forward-looking innovative and environmentally responsible nation.
Sorry, Mel, but, as your other readers said (or intimated) there's no money in your green ideas (or at least, not immediately and that's when THEY want it.)With you, I can only pray that this experience strengthens the allotmenteers (is there such a word?) and binds them closer together as a community and that they come out of it enriched in spirit.
