Rye Observer Comment: Obvious Rother don’t want to manage allotments
It is true that Rother were prepared to hand control of the allotments back to Rye on a 99 year lease but the dogged diggers of Rye Allotments Association see things in more fundamental terms.

It is obvious that Rother don’t want to manage the allotments, or they would not be offering Rye a lease to do just that.
Though Rother Council has continually denied it is interested in the land for development, the big question that still remains unanswered is why then is it so hell-bent on retaining ownership?
