There should be greater planned allotment provision. I now offer evidence of growing usage, and growing unmet demand, of allotments in Cambridge city, far outstripping the (welcome) new provision which is mostly in the southern fringe. See https://allotments.net/2021/12/12/updated-survey-of-cambridge-allotments/ and https://allotments.net/2021/12/13/cambridge-allotments-changes-2009-2021/
I would welcome an opportunity to discuss the details with you.
As well as providing for current and new residents, we should consider meeting possible future demand for more food production space. Ensure that some of the open space provision is flexible enough to convert to more food growing in the future.
