Dear Ms Campbell

Further to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I
detail below the responses.

1. The council has 15 sites in total.

2. There are 306 plots on these sites. The number of plots
changes frequently as

we often split plots to accommodate people's needs for a smaller sized
plot and

occasionally tenants take on `the other half' of their plots so they are
then treated

as one plot again.

3. There are 146 people on waiting lists for allotments.

4. No.

5. We are aware of three sites which appear to be private
allotments. Rear of

Detling Road, rear of Plane Avenue and adjacent to the council allotments

and at the rear of Cruden Road. There are also Parish Council allotments
in

Higham and Meopham.

Yours sincerely
