Im No 13 out of 19

 Well I finally got through to someone at the council today to see where on the waiting list I was for an allotment and Im number 13 out of 19 and the wait will still be a very long time.
The man was very nice so I asked about the possible opening of any new sites as there are none available in the whole of Basingstoke and the waiting lists are huge, he said they were looking at possible sites but it would be over the next couple of years, not very helpful!!! Interesting seeing as they are in the process of closing one of our largets sites in Basingstoke.

Soooo frustrated just want to get growing

I'm moving to Manchester next year and have been on the list for almost a year now, just heard that they've offer 8 new plots which leaves me at number 6 on the waiting list. I'm hoping a few on the waiting list will decline what is currently some overgrown land at the side of the current allotment plots.

As long as I can get on one by next winter I will be very happy

I contacted the person re allotment here in my area down to no 32  but we may be in for 20 new plots that arguments going through at the moment, the man says if your not scarred of some hard work one of thoose may be yours fresh new one on a farmers land.
here hopeing one comes soon.
Good luck to the rest of you

Do you think you get bumped up then because I asked the man at the council if there were any available in basingstoke anywhere and he said no they were allocated, keen on cordale road as its near to me!
