Default Allotments In Alcester!

Hi,
New here! Does anybody know how big the waiting list is for the allotments in Alcester? I am almost ready to move in! I might not even get one this year!
I also heard that there may be more allotments being put in in the area.

Can anybody help me out
Martin

Have you contacted the local council yet martin? They should be able to tell you what is available on any sites they run and/or put you in touch with someone if the sites are privately owned and run.

Yes, I've spoke to the Allotment Secretary and I'm on the waiting list. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me when they think I could move in.

nice gardens at Coughton Court as well DDL. Hi Martin you could always nip round and see him and ask him then you can have a good look at the site. When I get home tonight I'll look the address of the NSALG area rep and PM it to you he may be able to help with extra lottie sites.

Hi Nick - yes had a look around in 2005. Didnt get chance in 2006 as it was closed for winter - but hopefully coming back in the Autumn - fab place, fab people, fab countryside! Bernie aka Dexterdog

Hello Fenweed, welcome to the Vine.

If Martin B does not reply soon, he might not spot your question, you could always send him a private message.... just click on to his name and follow the info where it says send private message.

Good luck with your hunt.
