Mr Willis

 

Thank you for your query with regards to allotments in Sefton.

 

I hope the following information will be of assistence to you.

 

There are essentially two types of allotments in Sefton, those managed by
the Council and those leased by the Council to allotment associations for
the purpose of self management. I can only provide you with Council data
relating to the sites managed by the Council.

 

I must also make clear that applicants on waiting lists can, and often do,
appear on more than one list so the figures appear particularly high.

 

On the Southport area waiting list there are 337 persons on the list.

 

On the Crosby area waiting list there are 410 persons on the list.

 

On the Bootle area waiting list there are 175 persons on the list.

 

Total 922

 

We are currently indicating to new people joining our waiting lists that
thycan expect to wait approximately 4 years.

 

The Council is currently preparing an allotment strategy and this is in a
draft form.

 

I hope this answers your query,

 

kind regards

 

Dave Thompson
