Hands off the land at Stonebridge City Farm

Published by Brian Davey on Jan 09, 2010

We the undersigned, being friends and/or users of Stonebridge City Farm,

(1) are aware that the farm needs to renew its lease to enable future grant applications and note that the city council is pressuring it to agree to give up 10% of the land used by the Farm to be put under tarmac for a car park

(2) notes that without renewal of its lease the farm will not be able to put in future grant applications

(3) believes that the city council should renew the lease for the existing land at the very least - and even better would do an asset transfer of the land to the farm instead of it being held on a lease so that work by the farm is secure

(4)believes that the city council should not make the lease conditional on the car park to solve the estate design problems of the Leicester Housing Association who should be told to go back to the drawing board

(5) remind the city council of their commitment to action against climate change which makes it important that local people cultivate local food supplies and do not have their efforts undermined by having land taken away from them.
