Allotment waiting list data

East Cambridgeshire District Council did not have the information requested.

Margaret Campbell

Dear Sir or Madam,

As of January 2009, please could you tell me:

1) How many allotment sites are there in the Council area for which the council has access to waiting list data?

2) In total, how many plots are on these sites ?

3) In total, how many people are on these waiting lists for an allotment?

4) Are any of these waiting lists closed to further applications?

5) How many sites are there in total in the Council area?

Yours faithfully,

Margaret Campbell

Dear Ms Campbell

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request below.

We are unable to answer your request, as the District Council does not have allotments. You may wish to contact the City Council for this information.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT THE DISCLAIMER AT THE END OF YOUR ORIGINAL "WHAT DO THEY KNOW.COM" EMAIL STATES THAT THE INFORMATION PROVIDED WILL BE PUT ON THEIR "WHAT DO THEY KNOW" WEBSITE. THIS WOULD AMOUNT TO A RE-USE OF INFORMATION AND PLEASE NOTE THAT BEFORE DOING SO, AN APPLICANT MUST SPECIFICALLY REQUEST PERMISSION FROM THE COUNCIL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RELEVANT RE-USE OF PUBLIC SECTOR INFORMATION REGULATIONS 2005 AND THE COUNCIL'S OWN POLICY DOCUMENT / FORM UNDER THE PUBLICATION SCHEME (AVAILABLE VIA THE INTERNET.) SUCH A REQUEST WOULD BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS AND IS NOT AUTOMATIC. SEE LINK TO COUNCIL POLICY AND GUIDANCE FORMS FOR APPLICATION: http://www.eastcambs.gov.uk/docs/publica.... THEREFORE NO PERMISSION IS IMPLIED IN THE RE-USE OF THIS INFORMATION, UNTIL SUCH REQUEST TO RE-USE IS MADE AND AGREED, SUBJECT TO ANY APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS. I HAVE ATTACHED A LINK TO THE REGULATIONS FOR EASE OF REFERENCE:http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2005/2005151....

Kind Regards

Come on East Cambridgeshire, there is no need to be scared of us reusing the information that you do not have allotments!

Well given that we have just received an allotment after an approximate wait of 14 months, East Cambs does have allotments. However, allotments are handled by the parish councils and not the district council.
