The council has blamed 'the most challenging circumstances for public finances in decades'.
She said they are already facing increased costs for seeds, compost and tools."But given that Glasgow has a lot of areas with multiple deprivation and with everybody facing rising costs anyway, adding this in as well for some of them will be a real disaster.Ms Reeves said allotments allow people to de-stress in nature, as well as offering physical health benefits.
She said allotment use helps to improve biodiversity and encourages locals to grow their own food. The green spaces also serve as a social meeting place for people who might otherwise be isolated. "The council is facing the most challenging circumstances for public finances in decades and needs to make £50m in savings this year. Extremely tough decisions have had to be made and a static approach to allotment fees is simply no longer sustainable.
