CALLING all your readers who are allotment holders.
Will you please help me in a project to find out, by July1, 2002, about the state of allotments in the UK by supplying the answers to the following:
1) Name and location of allotment site
2) Total number of plots that could exist on the site
3) Numbers Let /Vacant (clean, letable)/Vacant (unclean/unletable)
4) Amenities (taps/car parking/site hut/toilets)
5) Rent (full/half/concessions)
6) Soil type (light/medium/heavy)
7) Crops (best and difficult to grow)
Allotments are part or our culture, there is a need to understand where we are and protect our future.
I would like to think that this census could lead to a Public National Register of Allotment Sites, but this can only be considered if a substantial amount of data is received.
Your help in this census, however small, is appreciated.
