Furthermore, if an allotment authority is of the opinion that there is a
demand for allotments in its area, it is required under Section 23 of the
Small Holdings and Allotments Act 1908, to provide a sufficient number of
allotments and to let them to persons residing in its area who want them."


That sounds a bit of daft logic Janet, in other words they have to tell
themselves (so they can be of the opinion) that allotments are wanted in
order for them to then be compulsorily made to provide some for locals?

Surely this allows councils to say that they aren't of the opinion?

From memory if seven or more people in an area demand allotments then the
Council has to do something about it.
