North-east of England is best region in Great Britain for allotments, report finds | Allotments

British, together with the Northeast, Redcar and Cleveland and the district Durham, is the heart of the allocation of two councils with the highest allocation provision per capita and the Great Britain.

He also revealed that Scotland has an average of only one quarter per person in the UK.

In the analysis, allocation throughout the country shows that it is wildly confused. In some regions, there are about 9 square meters per residence, and the Londons do the worst, Kensington and Chelsea and the city of London are connected to the lower point.

Former workers’ leader Jeremy Corbyn recently criticized the government for potentially threatening the changes in development rules, but the tensions around land use for land use for a long time.

Modern allocations belong to the Early Victorian period, but their origins can be viewed to the Anglo-Saxon times and storage of medieval England.

The UK’s Allocation Summit came between and between world wars when they helped to feed the country. Two -thirds of the allocation land It has been disappeared since thenMost of them were built on the post -war -reflecting interest decrease. However, in the last decades, in the last decades, it has gained popularity during the Covid crisis, where the estimated 330,000 parcel of England was a life line as an allowed forms of exercise.

Two years ago, a report found that there were more than 174,000 people in the waiting lists for allocations, but a small number of councils may afford to put aside the new land for them, and it is not unusual for people to hold on to the land for decades. How long people should wait for, it changes a lot by reflecting the inequality of the allocation provision in the new analysis.

Guardian’s analysis compared the land classified with the Ordnance questionnaire in 350 local authorities in Great Britain as “allocations and social growth area ve and divided the amount of allocation space within the square meter to provide a per capita allocation rate for similar comparisons between areas.

Redcar and Cleveland and District Durham climbed to the top with 8.9 square meters and 8.2 square meters, respectively. The Sillaly Islands, which have the smallest population of any of the local authorities, came third of 6.6 square meters per person. The rest of the top 50 local authority is the fourth place from North Norfolk 6 SQ meter, 50th ranks Westmorland and 3.4 of Furness meter meter.

Birmingham claims that any local authority in the UK has the highest allocation plan, but according to the analysis, it ranks from 350 to 138th. It does not comply with the land area completely and does not comply with the population, 244.6 hectares of allocation land, Durham’s 434.7 hectares of the second place only from the district of Durham, Birmingham’s claim was before the unification of smaller councils in 2009.

The common mountain of 350 local authority is Kensington and Chelsea without a single allocation site; Although the city of London is much smaller than most local authorities in terms of geographical space and population, they do not allocate.

London is home to 14 out of the lower 50 councils, almost all in London. Only two internal London concerts that escaped from this group are Lewisham and Greenwich, each of which is an allocation area of ​​approximately 0.7 square meters per 10,000 people, in 291 and 294th positions, respectively.

The external London performs better: the highest -grade London Council is Barnet with 2.5 Meters meter per person, 107th place. This corresponds to a 2020 to work Imperial College London, who found that 92% of the allocation lands of the capital were found in the outer districts.

A comparison between Scotland, Wales and Nine British regions, which are only 0.5 in Scotland Calm meter meter. This is compared with a ratio of 1.5 square meters in the winners and a general ratio of 2.1 for the UK. meter meter. The ratio in Great Britain as a whole was the allocation area of ​​1.9 square meters per person.

Only when the allocation area is taken into consideration and is not set to the population, all the allocation lands of Scotland are less than the general area of ​​the allocation land in Durham district and slightly more than Birmingham Municipal Assembly region. In Scotland, most of the 50 local authorities, Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, is 0.6 and 303. meter meter per capita. The whole of the six council areas that limit the border Glasgow are also to the lower 50.

Scotland’s different land ownership history and land laws can explain some of the difference. In 2015, the Scottish Government’s community reinforcement law came into force and encouraged councils to achieve more social growth areas, as well as other things. Over time, if resources are given to the councils, it may begin to close the gap in the Scottish provision.

Spokesperson: “Allocations play an important role in supporting community welfare, but it is natural to change according to local authority areas due to geography, population density and varying differences for land. Councils work hard to meet local needs and balance priorities, but despite these difficulties, despite these difficulties.

National Allocation Association and Scottish local authorities were approached for a comment.
