I think that if they had not frozen the rents for ten years, a mistake I think, that the increase from £39 to £200 would equate to about 17.7% each year for the 10 years. That is a high yearly increase.

£200 a year, payable in one lump upfront, will remove from the list the families who really need an allotment.
Yuppies who can afford that usually have gardens at home where they can grow veg if they want to.
So I still say the waiting list will disappear.
