Allotments in Solihull/Warwick area.

[barleymagrew]

Guys and gals,

I live in a place called Chadwick End which is in the Knowle area of Solihull.

I have been trying to find an alltoment for what seems like forever. I've tried the council and have been put onto their lists, but its not looking hopeful.

There was some hope over at Kenilworth, Warwickshire but I'm not allowed a Warwickshire council plot as my council tax gets paid to Solihull.

If anyone can point me in the right direction of a council or private plot in the area, I would be so grateful.

I'm worried another year is about to come and go with no grow!

Hi BMmm

I know exactly where you are I had a freind who lived in Chadwick End. I know that there is a site on the way to Milverton Don't know if it's Council or not. and there are a few in the Warwick/Leamington area. I'll PM you the adress of the loacal NSALG rep he may be able to help you.

And Welcome tot he vine by the way.

Brilliant.

I'll wait to receive the details. I'll let you know how I get on. (Dont' want to appear stupid, but where is Milverton?)

[nick the grief]

Don'y worry BM, it's only about 3 houses big if you go up the A46 towards Coventry then come off at the Leamington Turn and head toward Leamington Turn right by the Nuffielfd Hospital and follow the lane round the lotties are just on your way into Leamington/Warwick not sure of the area but the site is both sides of the road.

wicked, thanks.

I'll go over on Saturday. Any joy with the NSALG rep details?

(By the way, thanks for your help. I know its a pain, but I had no idea how hard it was to get an allotment these days. We should all chip in, buy a field and rent it out as plots!)

[nick the grief]

I sent you a private message with the details on BM. Did you not get it?

[barleymagrew]

Sorry, just worked out what PM means, so yes I've got it.

I went over to to Milverton on Saturday. They are full, but I've put myself on the list. The search continues!

They look nice ones. There are some more in Warwick, only way I can descibe them is into warwick on the mainroad past IBM past the cemetry at the island turn left then it's first right follow that road & they are on the right just before you go over the Railway ( they acrually border the railway) don't know whose they are but is may be wrth a look.

Just off Cape road I think it is

If you find anywhere in Leamington/Warwick it would be great to hear where has spaces. Did some phoning around the other day, my best result was being number 15 on a list. The longest list had 28 on it!
