Hi all, we have recently moved to Little Sammons. We contacted the District Council regarding an allotment. They said contact the parish council and the parish council said contact the district council. Although ping pong is fun does anyone know who to ask? We are both super keen to take one on. Also as we are new to the area please feel free to say hello, from 2meters away, im nick and she’s Tina, our 3yr old is Patrick. Thanks in advance
Thanks so much for asking @Nick Evans and welcome to the village. I dealt with the Property and Development Project Manager at District who walked me through the whole process. It doesn't happen overnight, but as there are 2 or 3 vacancies in the allotments at the moment, it shouldn't be too long before you're able to get soil under your fingernails again.
Here's the contact details that I used, and whilst she might have moved on, at least it gives you a team to get in touch with:
Rebecca McElliott Specialist - Property & Development Project Manager Tel: +441935462173 Email: Rebecca.McElliott@SouthSomerset.Gov.Uk South Somerset District Council
Thanks so much Adam! Look forward to sharing a beer or two over a fork or hoe sometime in the, post covid, summer. Cheers!
@Nick Evans, just been updated that you're nearly there with your license! Great to hear! And there I was hoping that I'd beat you to the raspberries on your allotment 🤣
