Topic: Why is it so hard to get yourself an allotment in ABINGDON?

[bendy]

Apparently theres 3 allotments in ABINGDON but I've only been able to find two,one is the west end and the other is wildmoor...so wheres the other one?
I was told of one down the drayton road but where is it and how do you get one.
Its like some sort of secret,trying to get an allotment is difficult unless you know some one and they invite you in,shouldnt it be more accessable to the public or am I just looking in the wrong direction.
The Abingdon Town Council only had one phone number which was wildmooor.
I wanna grow some veg but its so hard to get yourself a plot!

Hi Bendy, just had a look on google maps and there's what looks like an allotment off church lane which is off the b 4016 high st. Hope this helps.

It's strange, isn't it? Our council has a list of allotment sites on their website, but even that doesn't seem to be complete.  I know for a fact that there's a least one large site in my town which I can't see on the list. 

You could always try asking in a local pub?  :)

Welcome to A4A Bendy..
DenBee - That may be a private site, ours is listed by the council, but I don't think they are obliged to...  :-\

bendy sent you a pm with some details hope it helps,50 more plots going on soon may not be lucky this year but lots of people give up when they find out its hard work....so get yourself on the list
