Hi everyone or anyone I am not sure what an allottment is in the UK -
is
it
just a name for the yard around one's house? In Canada it generally
means a
portion of a communal land area where those without yards can garden.
Thanks for your help. Jean Vancouver BC Canada

It's a piece of land that you can rent on an annual basis, usually
through your local council

Small correction....


No correction is called for. As Judith didn't actually specify what the
the allotment could, or could not be, used for.


It's a piece of land to GROW food or plants on that you can rent on an
annual basis, usually through your local council with many bylaws and
usually rules for it's upkeep.



Correction.

It's a piece of land which can be put to any number of leisure uses
depending on where you happen to live
