Hi all, I'm delighted to say that my husband and I have been offered our own allotment after a wait of 4 and a half years - half a plot as so many applicants now that half plots are the norm but I am pretty sure this will be OK for the two of us. I have been sharing one third of half a plot for the last 4 years and really looking forward to extending how much we grow. I have been dipping in and out of the forum and found all the advice really helpful.
The plot is not in good shape but hopefully with a lot of elbow grease and some black sheeting etc we'll get into production soon. We made a list of what we would like to grow and realised it was everything so we will have to rein ourselves in!
The bad news is our local council would like to build houses on the site....The proposed new allotment site is a lot further away with no road access unless you do nearly 3 sides of a triangle. I along with other allotment holders have been contacting our council but in the off chance anyone has any suggestions - does anyone know of any regulations etc about chucking people off a site?
