I WOULD like to bring up the subject of local allotment sites. Having the position of secretary of the Alder Farm allotments at Parkstone, I have to deal with the waiting list, which is getting forever longer.
When people enquire to the council they are told there is a five- to 10-year wait.
It has been brought to my attention by the National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners that the local council should be opening up new land to be used for allotment purposes.
So why are the council not responding to this problem and getting these waiting lists down?
