I`ve got one up in Huncoat, i got on the list as they were about to build some new ones and got it in about 3 months which talking to other plot holders is very unusual, i just got in at the right time, my mate was on the list for the ones in Ossy and he was waiting for the next person to die before he`d ever get one....

so he stuck his name on the list for Huncoat and it took 2 months!!!!! as far as i know they are now all taken up there but the council have started a `use it or loose it` scheme which is run in partnership with the prospects foundation where all the plots are given ratings and if its not touched you are given notice of about a month to get it sorted or you loose it........i know notice was going to be served on a few up at Huncoat. all i would say is pick your area and stick your name on the list........
