Allotment Brierley Hill/Stourbridge/Kingswinford West Mids

[Worldor]

I know this is a long shot but do we have a forum member who lives in this area and who knows of allotments with vacant plots. I am fighting a losing battle trying to find one.

[Shortie]

Sorry Worldor, I'm not near you but where have you tried asking? Try your local council as they may have a list of non-council allotments too. I keep reading in places to try local parishes too...?

Hey, isn't STEVE PARTRIDGE from StourBridge. He has a link to his Blog Spot that he posts each week http://www.myallotments.blogspot.com/

Might be worth PM'ing him to see if he knows where there might be spots free...?

[Worldor]

Yes thanks. I already contacted Steve. No joy. I am a regular corresponder with the council too.

[Worldor]

I have a litle good news. I think I may have secured half a plot at an allotment site quite close to home. It is being used at the moment but will be ready Sept/Oct time. Off to have a look today then start planning.

[Lesley Jay]

Worldor thats excellent news!

[Squirrel]

Oh what good news for you! So pleased and the sun is trying to shine too!

[Peardrops]

Excellent news Worldor, will you be putting any chooks on your plot?

[Squirrel]

Now why am I not surprised that you asked that question Peardrops!

[Worldor]

Wouldn't that be nice but perhaps I better tread carefully at first. I have plenty of chickens in my garden which is why I need the allotment. Don't know whether I would want them that far away from me any way as I like to talk to them during the day

[poultrychat]

It's when you understand what they are saying back to you that it gets worrying

[Shortie]

How did it go Worldor? Will you take the site if it comes up later?

I thought abuot chooks why I get a lottie (if I'm allowed to keep them there that is) but I can't guarentee I'll always be there and that's not fair on the chooks. I suppose that besides site rules, it depends how much time you'll be spending there?

[Worldor]

Even better - we now have a whole plot on our favourite site and hardly a weed in site. How lucky are we?

[Shortie]

I'm going green I've still not heard about a vacant plot on mine

BUT did spot what lookd like other allotments earlier today. If I've not just mortally offended someone's back garden (i did look a bit messy!) then I think they may not be council owned as they're just as close as the other sire and the council made not mention of this one (actually told me about on 3-4 miles away instead of ths other one). Might have to have a nose tomorrow

[Worldor]

Hope you hear something soon shortie.

Have you definately got your plot Worldor ? That's magic. You can tell us all about it and post some pics. Congratulations.
