No allotments!
« on: February 23, 2007, 17:24:15 »
Hello, I am sorry if this subject has been covered elsewhere, I couldn't find it though.
We live in a small village with a lot of cottages with very small gardens. A couple of us are trying to find out how we start the process of obtaining some land for allotments. I am sure if there were some allotments it would be well supported and I think it would provide a useful amenity in a village without a shop, pub or anything  :-\
Any advice for taking those first steps would be gratefully received, thanks  :D

You will need a minimum of 6 people in your area who want an allotment. The council are supposed to provide where feasable providing a minimum of 6 want one. Anything less and they dont have to consider the application. Once you get your list, make your application.
All you do and all you see is all your life will ever be

I bet they've got an offy. Other than that they all brew their own.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"
