MP's Plan For Homeless To Grow Their Own Food

Homeless people will get the chance to grow their own food on a city allotment if a plan by a Derby MP gets support. Amanda Solloway has put forward her City Growing Project where the community will work together to grow food. Those who cannot pay will get it for free and other people will receive items in return for a donation. Mrs Solloway said she wants Derby to be known as a "city of compassion" in 2017. She said: "I would hope there would also be provision for cooking, shower and storage facilities on site and her plan includes professional cookery lessons and gardening lessons, with the possibility of qualifications."
