Views sought on Community Growing

As part of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Bill the Local Government and Regeneration Committee are seeking views on community growing. They have prepared a short video and they are asking for responses on 3 questions:

1. What are the benefits of having access to an allotment?
2. What other types of spaces could be used to grow food and plants?
3. How could a food-growing plan assist you?

You can let the Committee know your views using the following methods:
