ballynahinch allotments

[davidmallon]

hey there just recently bought a house in drumaness northern ireland and was looking to see if there was any allotments available in the area, ive already tried the council website and such like but with no luck, any help would be greatly appreciated

When you say no luck ... do you mean long waiting lists?

[davidmallon]

no i didnt see anything about waiting lists for allotments in this area unfortunately

Is the council obliged to provide allotments? Here they are and if 6 people get together and request one in their area (if there aren't any) then the council has to do something though there is not time limit so could take years.

I know that there are laws here that don't apply in Northern Ireland. (perhaps that has changed but doubt it). So maybe this is why you can't find any information. If I was you I'd try my local MP or go to the local council direct.

Good luck.

OK.

What info have you gleaned so far? Any? Have you contacted anyone? The council?

I googled and found some planned:
Construction Start Date: Jul 2012
Location: Ballynahinch
Project ID: 11381914

Is that you? The map shows it to be in England, not Ireland ?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drumaness has vacant land suitable for allotments. It's in a Word doc so I can't copy & paste it for you, but you could google "drumaness allotments" and find it that way.
Cllr McAleenan is in charge of it.
