Rural England tests small holdings reform push
London, September 2. An experiment in social reform through small holdings and allotments is under way with county and district councils hiring land and enforcing compulsory purchase. Preliminary surveys show strong demand for 300,000 acres, but most applicants seek to hire land without buying. The effort faces conservative landowners, slow possession, and questions about profitability and rural revival.
