Hi,

I'd check I had a market for this before getting to excited. Your fellow
citizens may not want allotments..... might be worth talking to the
council about to see if they've had any enquiries, or an advert in the
paper for interested persons - or even better - talk to a local reporter
and get it featured in the local paper.

Thanks Sarah, I hadn't thought to talk to the local paper...but I've a
feeling I won't need to, anyone I've spoken to about it in the town seem to
think it's a good idea and sorely needed. It remains to be seen of course as
you say if there is *actually* a market for it, but should we go through
with it I'll put the word out and see what comes back, won't cost us
anything and if we get concrete *yes's* then we'll go ahead and if not
we'll have lost nothing and I'll save up and buy myself a ride-on as a form
of retail therapy!..
