The nearest allotments to us were sold off for building land.

Despite all our requests, all we are told is that the Staffordshire Moorlands DC has no money to buy land for replacement allotments, so, we haven't a snowball in hell's chance of getting one.

Maybe some councils are entitled to allotments in Iceland now. >:( or  ;D depending on where you live!
