Allotments – Issues raised at the October 2007 meeting:
Michael Mouldon honorary secretary of Swinton and District Allotments and
Leisure Gardens Association raised the following concerns:

All active allotments sites in the District of Salford have waiting lists, some
extremely long in years for waiting.

In support of the Healthy Living Agenda, the environment and anti-poverty,
what is Salford City Council doing to try and meet the demand for
allotments that so clearly now exists?

Is the Council updating its Allotments Strategy and will this strategy
include identifying potential new sites and resources needed to invest in a
decent allotments provision that meets demand?
Members agreed to invite officers to a future meeting to respond to the following
issues:
 How many disused allotment sites are there in Salford and what are future
plans?

What allotments do we have available and what are the waiting lists for
each site?

What is the procedure for allotments in a state of disrepair?

Do we have any new land assigned for allotments?

Do we have an allotments strategy?
