Dear David Taylor,
Thank you for the prompt response, but can I just ask for clarification on q.2 - Could you tell me how many plots there are on the 14 council-managed sites, please?
Many thanks,
Margaret Campbell
Dear Northampton Borough Council,
After the very prompt NBC reply to my request for information on allotments, I wrote a follow-up request to David Taylor asking for clarification on one point of the information, but haven't yet had a response.
My follow-up request was:
"...on q.2 - Could you tell me how many plots there are on the 14 council-managed sites, please?"
I'd be grateful if you could look at this.
Yours faithfully,
Margaret Campbell

Really Sorry Margaret. I got the answer from the service on 15th January, saved it to the request file and forgot to forward the information on to you.
It appears the total we provided, 1945 plots, included 320 at Weston Favell. If you remove this number from the total your left with 1625 plots managed by the Council.
I hope this concludes the request, sorry for the delay providing this additional information.
