and can you buy the actual plot/bit of land outright?
and whats the price of them?
and if anyone who still has one that they no longer use and would be willing to let me rent from them then let me know..
thanks

Allotments are in short supply in Clayton. Clayton prospects panel are trying to acquire a piece of land on Barnes St with a view to turn into allotment site. but slow progress at moment - funding needed etc. but should move along once funding aquired.
Word of warning with some of the newer council run sites (meadoway & Heys lane), the council were proposing increasing rents by a massive amount. dont quote me but eg is from £25 up to £200. making them unafordable for alot of holders.
The HBC allotment person is female - name's gone - leanne possibly ?
if you dont get any joy with the suggestions on here, you could consider contacting ian hodgson, prospects foundation. he's the community food growing co-ordinator and has lots of contacts. he's on leave at moment though. tel 01254 380244, email:
