Then began the lengthy process of cultivation notices and the inevitable 'row' about giving up their plot because they'd paid the rent for a whole year etc.It's also hard to tell who is going to make a go of an allotment and who isn't, Obviously the movement towards people being made aware of/taking on allotments can only be a good thing and I wouldn't deny anyone the chance. But the waiting list issue is a tricky fish.
When I first looked for an allotment in Cambridge there was a three and a half year waiting list for council sites, but the allotment society sites all had vacancies. That was two years ago - my site now has an eight person waiting list. Which is as annoying as all hell, as now I want a second plot....
