More allotment land is required, there is a waiting list. Of general concern:
1. how far is the average distance from home to an allotment?
2. What is the acceptable distance?
3. There are whole families that spend time working on their alotment and enjoy a BBQ before going home.
4. The Council must sharpen up its act. Allotment sites have recently been lost to dense housing sites. Legislation must be in place to reverse the Councils attitude to land use, green open space for food production, exercise and an environment of fresh air in a quiet atmosphere.
