Great photos @Gramaisc if only they were still there to get people outside and talking to each other and cooking of home grown produce instead of this hamster wheel we all choose to jump on!
Am I misreading this? The allotments are mainly still there, and those of us with allotments do get outside and talk to each other while producing and subsequently cooking our home grown produce :S
Jump off the hamster wheel and get an allotment and join in the benefits
The waiting list thing has always struck me as a bit odd, particularly on Coton Fields - it doesn't look fully occupied.They are not as many as there use to be, there is also a waiting list and the way new houses are going up, it's unlikely there will ever be more allotments created!

Cotton Fields is Run by the Burgesses, so I very much do but it would be sold for development. They even have a website www.cotonfieldsallotments.co.uk

More than half of the original area of Coton Fields Allotments already has gone - I'm sure I remember some further plans being scuppered in the '80s, around the same time as the move to swap land on the Common...
Ah well, s is next to d - I'll call it a typo....Not for a long time now
