Allotments at The Grove / Mount Pleasant Villas

I happen to know a bit about this. I've met several people who have been on the waiting list for years and years. Coincidentally I happen to know there are a number of people selfishly hogging more than one allotment (one person has five!) and there is perceived to be no proper management, no fair and proper system for allocating strips, no proper administration. The council washed it's hands of this year's ago. Anyone fancy making a fuss? Declaration of interest: I am not a gardener and have no interest in getting an allotment myself. But I know people who do. And I just think this smells bad.

Does anyone know whether or not this is still the case @krappyrubsnif, I'm on the list but it's looking like 15 years or so lol

We could be making community veg/herb gardens in some of the planters as well as new small herb and Wildflower planters if enough are interested in helping and harassing Haringey?

We could also press them to plant fruit trees, replacing street trees that are vanishing at an alarming rate.

Could be a win win if enough harasse Haringey for them, they may also start running allotments more fairly?
