Default 1000 on waiting list

Wow. 1000 names on a waiting list in Wales.

A gardening body is warning it may have to take legal action if Wales' growing demand for allotments is not met. Its message to councils: "Section 23 of the 1908 Allotments Act. You need to provide allotments. A thousand on a waiting list is no excuse." BBC NEWS | Wales | South East Wales | Law threat on allotment provision

that's stupid, obviously there are more people wanting to garden (which is good) but i bet the land that can be used for allotments is being used to build more houses, and i bet further that the houses aren't helping the environment!!!!!!

1000! Oh my! But it looks like they're going to do something about it, which is good!
