Jeremy Corbyn attacked his former workers’ colleague Angela Rayner for signed eight allocation sales since the general elections.
The UK’s 330,000 allocations are small, rented lands where residents can grow their own fruit and vegetables, and except for the signing of the Ministry, they are protected from development or sale under the 1925 allocation law.

Losing access to the soil, rural poor “hunger face” and “forced to migrate to industrial cities like Birmingham,” he wrote, “allocated allocations, then, the protection and the privatization of the common soil”.
The figures from the National Allocation Association show that the allocations for many people are still vital for many people, and that the population of England has an increase in one -fifth in London, which has no access to an eighth garden.

“Of course, social housing is needed desperately, but we don’t have to sacrifice these vital green areas to build it,” Corbyn says.

Angela Rayner’s Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has been contacted for information on how many allocated in previous years.
A spokesman said that the councils should only sell allocations in places where they are “clearly necessary and offer value for money.”
“We know how important allocations are for communities, and therefore there are strict criteria and school playgrounds to protect them.”
However, the conservatives asked the policy that the policy was “a kick in the teeth of the local people who have no access to their gardens” and the government to do more to protect the green spaces.
