by email on 1/2/09 regarding our allotments.. As you will be aware, the

entitled to a full response by no later than 27^th February 2009.

I am able to provide responses to the questions you have asked.

The London Borough of Hounslow currently has 1,877 allotment plots on 30

OCCUPANCY LEVELS 2008

The information that I have available is as follows which means that in
reality there is availability across the borough for those who would want
an allotment and as such there are no waiting lists unless residents
wanted a specific allotment. Each area has some availability.

o West - 70 %
o Central - 65.9 %
o Heston and Cranford - 70 %
o Isleworth and Brentford - 97.5 %
o Chiswick - 98.7%

Average occupancy across the borough 2008 - 80%

If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact
me directly.
