September 22 was World Rivers Day. Did you know that the UK's rivers are in a critical state? Only 15% of English rivers meet the criteria for good ecological health and every single stretch of English river is contaminated with toxic chemicals.

Poet Neha Narne wrote “My Patch of Green in the Urban Jungle”, about the threat of development to Park Road Allotments in 2021. At the time Neha was just 13. This poem won the Young Wild Writer competition for the Hen Harrier Day. #NationalAllotmentWeek

[Environmental Law F. @ELF_Law]

As we celebrate National Allotments Week, it’s time to reflect on the myriad benefits allotments bring to our communities and the challenges they face. Allotments are more than just plots of land; they are a vital and historic part of our urban fabric.
