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: [email protected]. fantastic guy & as mad as a bag of frogs

That in my view is one of the daftest increases i have heard of, i just cannot concieve a P.B.less council would approve such n increase, surely not.
