Actually, the people who don't seem to be taking her plan seriously happen to be from the CEO's company. As for the city council, you get this:
A council spokeswoman said: "Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council has received a planning application from a resident of Kirkby relating to the demolition of a property in Cuffley and use of the space as a community garden.
"This application will go through the normal planning process."
Even if they're not quite taking it seriously, they're clearly enjoying the idea, and going to ACT as though they take it seriously.
I think you're right that the money probably will play a big influence, but it works pretty well even as a publicity stunt.
