I haven't interfered with your style, but I spotted a few oddments you
might want to change.

What is an allotment?

Some ammendments made:


Not in the text itself, I know; but one "m".

(Is the last paragraph a bit contraversial?)


Not in my opinion. You might also mention that it's the owner's
responsibility to clear up dog mess.

"contrOversial".
...

An allotment is an area of ground with a site that is yours for the
purposes of growing fruit and vegetables.


Isn't the site the whole thing, while the individual plot is the
allotment?

There are many questions new plotholders often ask and we've tried to
answer as many as possible here.

The guidance contained in this booklet is written to go along side all


"alongside"

the rules and regulations that we have in the constitution.

Whilst the burden of rules may seem ominous they are designed to
ensure a good working relationship between plot holders.


"onerous", not "ominous", of course.

[...]

Parking - please do not block the road way to the allotment at any


"roadway"

time. There is a car park on site to use. Please park sensibly.

There are a couple of plot holders who have trailers. Please speak to
them if you need a large item bringing


"brought"
to site as they may be able to
help.

[...]

Dogs and children - some people come to their allotment for peace and
quiet. Excessive noise on the allotment may upset other plot holders
and neither dogs or children should be allowed to run free around the
site.
