i've applied :)

[lynda66]

have been thinking whether i should get one or whether i shouldn't, but looking at the problems a lot of people have had, i thought blow it, i'll apply

and apparently, the council are creating a new 100 plot allotment, .... but they want 100 people NOW lol ........ just my luck if no one applies and they decide not to go ahead with it

just got to wait now till it's ready

Maybe you could post where the plots are going to be and where to apply for one- you never know someone new on the Vine might just be wanting one in your area!

Good luck!

I'm in a similar position to Lynda. My neighbour and I have taken over half a plot between us on a site that used to be allotments, but has been re-opened after about 4 years. The problem could be that if less than 5 people have allotments there, the site will be closed again and no doubt sold to developers who've been after it for years! So, if there's anyone reading this from Stafford, there's loads of good fertile soil going to waste on the Exeter Street site.

Lynda you go for it girl hopefully you will get lucky and loads more people will join up too after all it seems more and more people want them these days.
The ones that are just outside our area and run by the council each holder has a lovely shed and a greenhouse all supplied by the council the lucky diggers!

Good look in finding the other 99 peeps! Hel.xxx.

well i don'tknow about the greenhouses and sheds, but that would be really cool .... i know some have applied already ....... hope they get on with it though, i'm running out of room

[Garden_girlie21]

I wish our local allotments came with sheds and greenhouses!!

Lucky you, I hope you get other plotholders soon, it would such a shame to lose that opportunity!!
