I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated 2
January 2010. In response to question 1, I can confirm that this Council
does not operate or manage any allotments and only holds incomplete
information on which parish or town councils within the district do so. As
a result we do not hold the information you request so I am unable to
provide answers to the additional questions you raised.
Residents enquiring about allotments are referred to their parish or town
council and contact details for these councils are available on our
website - [1]www.broadland.gov.uk under P for parishes in the A to Z
section of our website.
It may be of interest to know that there is available an exhaustive study
of allotment provision in Norfolk. This was produced following extensive
research on the matter and was published in 2007. It is available from
booksellers and is entitled "Norfolk Allotments - the plot so far" - ISBN
978-0-09555924-0-9.
I trust the above response will meet your purposes but if, for whatever
reason you wish to get back to me, please feel free to do so. In
particular if you are unhappy with the information provided or how your
request was handled please make contact and I will explain how you can
make a complaint either to the Council or to the Information Commissioner.
