Good morning
Further to the acknowledgement below, I can respond as follows:
1. The allotments are run by independent allotment associations. The
Council does not have data on individual sites. The individual
associations may be able to provide you with the information that you
are seeking. Their contact details are contained in the attached spread
sheet.
2. The Council does not have this information (as per 1 above).
3. The Council does not have this information (as per 1 above).
4. This is a matter for the respective allotment associations.
5. There were no new allotments sites brought into use in 2010. The
Council has provided a grant for the clearance of plots. This will
provide approximately 19 plots. These will be divided up and will
hopefully provide allotments for 59 new Allottees during the current
financial year.
Yours sincerely
