Brighton community garden under threat (From The Argus)

• "Where has this obsession with a 'community garden' originated from exactly? Brighton has numerous public parks not to mention the larger ones such as stamner. the city is sandwiched between miles of open coast to the south and the sprawling south downs to the north.
  
  Surely a community garden is the nearest public park which communities surrounding that park use and if they wished to do so could apply to the local authority to use parts of it to grow their own produce etc.
  
  What doesn't make sense to me is why a group of squatters / activists (whatever their preferred title) occupy private land in the middle of a city centre that was until recently used as commercial property and will continue to be used for these purposes insist on using the 'community garden' as an excuse for the occupancy."
