If you expect your Council to do anything other than provide a plot you are

amazing/prohibitive, but we did get a new lock on the gate this year.
I have no doubt the playing fields are treated with herbicides.
Wow!!! That is an incredible list of restrictions. Ur plotty in a
residential area? Where is it? How much they charge you?

The list looks very similar to our list for a plot in Harlow.
Yes, residential (as in, one side of the whole site backs onto house
gardens). Think it costs us between 30-40 pound a year for 1 1/2 plots.

Is that for 0.5 plot or 1.5 plot?
