Dear Margaret
Your request for information on allotments.
We have now considered your request for information and a copy of the information is 
below.
1) How many allotment sites are there in the Council area for which the council has access 
to waiting list data?
68. 
2) How many plots are on these sites?
Approximately 3102. 
Some plots are used as wildlife areas or communal storage space.  Some plots are 'split' 
to provide two smaller plots and some plots cannot be let due to flooding or poor growing 
conditions (i.e. in the shade of trees or property).
3) How many people are on these waiting lists for an allotment?
Approximately 300. 
4) Are any of these waiting lists closed to further applications?
No.
5) How many sites are there in total in the Council area?
76, excluding privately owned land.
If you have any queries about this email, please do not hesitate to contact me.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish 
to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, you should write to: Tony 
Trickett, Information Manager, Chief Executives Directorate, Civic Centre Floor 4, Glebe 
Street, ST4 1HH or email [Stoke on Trent City Council request email].
If, after contacting us, you are not content with the outcome, you may ask the Information 
Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the Information Commissioner cannot make a 
decision unless you have already used our appeal procedure. The Information Commissioner 
can be contacted at: The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, 
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
Yours sincerely,
Hannah Quinn
