Waiting lists
There is currently a waiting list of between 6–7 years to get a plot and over 1,500 people are on the waiting list.
The length of time people wait depends on how specific they have been about where they want the plot – they don't come free very often.
To overcome this long waiting time, we're splitting larger vacant plots into a number of smaller plots and being more proactive about dealing with non-cultivation by plot-holders. We're also looking at setting up new allotment sites and hoping this will reduce the waiting time, but can't guarantee this.
