Hi James,
I had my name down for a plot on a site a 3 min bike ride from my house. I was told that I was 21 on the list. A month later I didn't seem to be much closer and unfortunately the site was severely affected by the floods in June. Some of the new plots were okay, but some were not and I began to wonder if I actually wanted to be on a site that may flood again and ruin all my hard work.
So I looked around for another site. The one I found was a little further away (but really not much) and on my way home from work. When I spoke to their local council (in a different area to the other plot) I was told they had 2 vacant plots if I wanted to choose one. The best thing I could of done. Everyone is very friendly, it's in a great position and the soil is fab. My plot is 26m x 8m (28.5yrds x 8.75yrds) so 210 ish m2. I think I've been very lucky to find one as quickly as I did, I realise now how many people are on waiting lists.
Good luck with yours! |
