We were on the waiting list for about 3 1/2 years, we rang, we e-mailed, we even took a video to show how many were empty and not being used. The council then decided to reclaim 10 that had stood empty for ten years!!!!!! - 10 years worth of rubbish, there was talk of turning it in to a graveyard but the bank is quite steep i think the bodies would have rolled down.I could get cross because a couple of the "old boys" have three plots each, no wonder there is such a long waiting list. But if you really are keen then you'll wait some people see it as a trendy fad.
