I have not joined in on that. It is very simply where we are referring to allotments. The position regarding allotments is well set out in law and is well understood. It is to include, side by side with that, a definition of "community garden". In practice, very often these community spaces have an element of both happening together. There will be an area that is managed by a community together and so there will be some allotmenteering going on. The other amendment deals with that and ensures that the definition is included there.
