About this listen

This week on The Allotment Newswire, we’ve got three big stories shaking up UK allotment life:

🛠️ A brand-new gardening and home store is opening in Cheltenham — and it’s just down the road from Reg’s own plot!

💷 Birmingham City Council’s pumping nearly £300,000 into allotment site upgrades — but is it enough to fix what really needs fixing?

🏡 And in Bath, a £1.4 million allotment standoff is leaving plot holders in limbo, caught between a council bid and private landowners.

Plus, Reg shares his take on what it all means — from the everyday impact for local growers to the bigger picture of allotment access and protection.

🎧 Tune in for proper down-to-earth chat, growing news that matters, and a big invite to share your own stories at regleeallotment.co.uk.
