How big, where, is water on tap, can you have bonfires,are greenhouses/sheds allowed, rent (how much/when )How secure,is there an allotment society?
I'm sure there are more but the person you are ringing may have a few questions to ask you.

[jaykay]

Well I think I'd be asking "When can I come and look at it please?" and "Is anyone else interested at the moment?" then go along asap and take a list of things I wanted to check out when I was there.

Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks you guys, I've now got something to say so don't sound like a drongo on the phone!

Wonder what he will ask me?!

[allotmentlady]

drongo's live in horwich lol

[janeyo]

lol, I'm all of a doodah and really hope he's not telling me I have to wait another 5 years lol.

I have to ring him back - couldn't talk to him before as had the squids in the bath. If he'd had bad news he'd have told me in the original call surely?

[lynda66]

[allotmentlady]

good luck jane xxxx dont forget to ask if you can have mad visitors!

[tootles]

Well........
Your hour has passed, good news or not??

[janeyo]

I'm so close to the top of the lists I've been waiting on! 7th and 9th. With 2 plots to be offered by weekend. So not giving up just yet.

He has told me about another large site run by an estate agent for a charity.

Has anyone heard of this? Would there be pitfalls to this? I hadn't heard of such a thing and the estate agent has nothign about it on the website.

[allotmentlady]

The one near Blackrod?

[lynda66]

nope, but you don't lose anything by contacting them and it may be good and you get a lottie sooner .... sure the council bloke wouldn't have said anything if it was dodgy.
