Dear Ms Campbell,

I can now provide you with most of the information you requested. To
simplify the response I have listed each question in turn, which I hope
makes sense! One site - Faircross - is self managed by the allotment
holders.

1) How many allotment sites are there in the Council area for which the
council has access to waiting list data? 9 - The numbers for each site are
the respective waiting lists. It is worth pointing out that some people
can be on up to 3 waiting lists at the same time.

a. Goldcroft - 28

b. Green Lane - 36

c. Grove - 34

d. Rodwell/Longhill - 18

e. Parsons Close - 11

f. Sandsfoot - 32

g. Quibo Lane - 32

h. Westham Crossroads - 43

i. White Roughet - 9

2) How many plots are on these sites? There are approximately 550 plots
spread across

3) How many people are on these waiting lists for an allotment? See
Question 1

4) Are any of these waiting lists closed to further applications? No
waiting lists are closed

5) How many sites are there in total in the Council area? 10 - the
tenth - Faircross - is self managed and to get the specific details we
would have to contact the group. Do you want us to do that or are you
content to leave that bit of information out?

I hope that this information is of use and once again I must apologise for
missing your request. As we have missed the set response time, you are
entitled to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. Their
contact details are below.

Yours sincerely,

David Sinclair

Dear David Sinclair,

Many thanks for your prompt and thorough response to my email. I

Yours sincerely,
