Hi all, I'm new to sight and looking for a plot at the moment, I understand the waiting list are never ending so I'm not holding out.
Any way, your little plot on the web is great and ill happily stay here for a while:-)
Regards Kevin

Hi Kevin and welcome!! Do you have a garden to console yourself with while you wait for your name to come top of the allotment waiting list?

[Kevin B]

Hi nutty, yes I do, three sides but ones a drive, the back I work from and the side has just been newly lawned for my baby boy. The leader of the opposition says no greenhouse :-)

Not so much the leader of the opposition as the Ruling Party
You may have to think laterally - and create space! Grow up fences and walls, in pots and boxes in any odd corner, give baby a slalom course of raised beds to crawl around.....

Just started looking on the web, I'm off around the various allotments and council on Monday, I'll keep you updated.

There are several Grapes on here with plots in Leeds. Maybe they'll be able to suggest some sites with shorter waiting lists.

[Kevin B]

Any help would be really appreciated. I will keep updating for others looking as well.

I'm on oakwood lane allotments which is other side of Leeds to you but we don't have a large waiting list. PM me if you want to know more. I also have contact details for council and self managed sites. :-)
