Deathmatch: 100 yr old allotments vs. 4 weeks of concrete pathway

By joyg

IN the blue corner: 81 productive healthy 100 year old allotments in Hackney Wick ringed with plum blossom, a veritable urban oasis and so wholesome, socially inclusive and downright paradisical they make Julie Andrews jealous.

IN the red corner: 4 weeks of concrete concourse for the 2012 Olympics, flanked by a compulsory purchase order and some heavy-duty bulldozers.

Does anyone remember the words ‘Olympic Legacy’?
If you do, sign the petition before april 2nd (that’s when the bulldozers are due to move in)
