Allotments
Dear Preston City Council,
How many people are presently on the waiting list for an allotment
in Preston?
What is the average waiting time for an allotment?
What policy documents exist in relation to this area?
Yours faithfully,
Tom Murphy

The council quotes a waiting time of 4-5 years - does this mean that the council is currently allocating plots to people who applied in approx 2007, when there were only 126* people on waiting lists?
If so, given that the waiting list is now almost three times longer, this implies that people joining the list now will have to wait approx. 11 - 14 years.
* Open Space, Indoor and Outdoor Sport and Recreation Study, 2007 - this assessed the quantity and quality of allotment provision in Preston. http://www.preston.gov.uk/yourservices/p...
