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



So they'd have to club together then to make council knows that THEY
know there's a demand?

Yes, they would have to get together as a group to petition their local
Council. So sounds good but how do these people find each other without help
from the Council? The plot holders on our allotment site come from a wide
area, we are the only ones from this area (about 2 miles away), and others
come from 5 miles away from the site in the opposite direction.

Maybe the allotmenteers could put a big poster that says you want an
allotment please contact ...... and put the name of someone who would
act as co ordinator. Or put an advert in the Press?

Janet one doesn't pay for an advert in the local press :-((

A 'Letter to the Editor', which is free, brings a great response :-))

Worded carefully, it could possibly be 'The Letter of the Week' and be
awarded a financial reward.

Been there done that got the cheque. :-))
