Cittaslow offers its support to the Linlithgow and District Allotment Society(LADAS)
From Phil Murray:
On behalf of the Cittaslow Linlithgow Steering Group I write to endorse the efforts of LADAS to secure the availability of allotments within Linlithgow.
The availability of allotments will provide the opportunity for allotment holders to focus on the production of locally grown foodstuffs for their own, and friends’ consumption, with all the associated benefits of knowing precisely where and how the product was grown, the fact that it generated minimal food miles in its journey from ‘gate to plate’, at the same time generating increased awareness, particularly amongst the younger generation of where their food comes from and associated issues of sustainability, as well as helping promote a healthy lifestyle.
All of these advantages will contribute to the delivery of the overall objectives of the Cittaslow/Slowfood movement, and as such, I have no hesitation in offering my support to LADAS in their campaign to secure provision of appropriate allotment facilities in Linlithgow.
Yours faithfully
Phil Murray
Chair
Cittaslow Linlithgow Steering Group
