(Betty) SAVING THE ALLOTMENTS - 1 of 2

It's 7 years today since we won our fight to save the allotments.
The Council had planned to close our allotments and use the site as a car park.
Robert led our campaign and came to all our meetings. He was featured in newspapers and on the TV news.

We started following you all about a half year after that. Robert was a special cat! Love the blep. Still cannot believe they wanted to close the Allotments for a car park, of all things. Guess they really didn’t need it since they seem to have managed.

A tremendous victory. To this day, I'm convinced that the wise old soul Robert was destined came to the Allotments to save them and the cats who lived there. 😺
