Anyone with an allotment?

I was waiting 2 years in Waltham Forest. My plot that I got last week was vacant 4yrs+ there’s still multiple derelict plots on this site....

Interesting that they don't seem to have the funding to get all those cleared in one job lot. But yes, that explains why you're the only taker for so long. You could conceivably establish a little empire by taking on all the others (or they could pay you ...). :)
