Allotment


Primula

Recommended Posts

I've just moved to ED and am wondering about the possibility of getting an allotment. What's the inside track on obtaining one? Or is it a case of waiting lists being so long it is likely i'd be too decrepit to be in a fit state work one?

The allotments in Southwark Borough are all self managed (as far as i'm aware) so it means finding the sites nearest to you and contacting the relevant committee/organisation - maybe someone else on here can help with that??

Lewisham Council allotments are run slightly differently with a proportion directly managed by the council and others self managed on council land, but i know for a fact that the waiting lists are long (i live near the Horniman, so just in Lewisham, and i waited 6 years for a plot) and now plots are only given to those living in Lewisham Borough due to long waiting lists....

Stuart road allotments in Nunhead waiting list is closed currently, but usually reviewed at AGM in March - last year it was reopened after AGM but closed within a few weeks later - think policy is to close it when numbers get to 100 - there are 200+ allotments and newbies tend to be given half plots, so list can come down alot over a year - usually notices will be stuck on the gates advising that the waiting is open/closed

You could try volunteering at the Dulwich Vegetable Garden (DVG) behind Rosebery Lodge in Dulwich Park. We're always looking for more people. It's a volunteer-run community fruit and veg garden, and everyone shares the produce. During the winter the DVG is open Sundays only, 10.30-12.30. From 1 March it will be open on Wednesdays as well at the same time.

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
