Easy-find your nearest site and ask. I`m not being faceitious. Years ago I would have said contact the council but I have not had a lottie for some years now and things may have changed.

Our local council has a list of allotment sites and which has vacancies, does yours?  Also John Prescott's office website has lots of allotment info on it.  Worth a try.

There are other people in Manchester that post on this site, hopefully someone can help.
