Issue - meetings

NB There were also exhibitions and information stalls about other local sustainable food initiatives (eg the “Living Under One Sun” initiative at the Tottenham Hale allotments – re-landscaping the site with the help of volunteer operatives from Lovells the Decent Homes Standard contractors working with local residents) and information about other local projects, like the Sustainable Food Network, the …. Operating from Broadwater Farm Centre and so on).

Allotments / Sustainable Food Sources

The Chair noted that there was a growing movement towards the use of allotments and sustainable food sources and in response to this the Council had recently appointed an Allotments Officer to work with residents on this issue.  In addition an officer Working Group had been established to help residents identify areas of unused land that may be suitable for this type of use.

There was agreement that a briefing note should be drafted setting out the work that was being undertaken and who residents should contact to obtain further information. 

It was suggested that a mechanism should be formed by the Council so that areas of land identified by local people could be brought into use more quickly.
