Dear Ms Campbell

Further to your request I submit the following information

1. Taunton Deane Borough Council has no access to waiting lists at
allotments. All allotments are run by individual associations.

2,3,4. As stated in item 1 this is all dealt with by the associations

5. We opened one new allotment at Holy Close Taunton. It covers
approximately 0.5 hectares and has approximately 48 half size plots.
Again they have formed their own association and deals with running the
site.
