Sparky-
Damn.
Maybe see if they have volunteering days etc(as if anyone has time for that), we got ours by being on the list but there definitely seems to be a lot of brown nosing going on as well.We’re currently trying to get 4 ‘abandoned’ plots back in play. All owned by Santa tenants who miraculously show up the day before inspections to vaguely wave a strimmer around.
Despite the allotment officer being told by multiple tenants, and the liaison tenant(chief curtain twitcher) it seems to take at least 2 years to kick someone off once they stop tending the plot.
Seems to be the one thing that our officer in particular really drags their heels on.

Do you know anyone at the site? I know someone at ours jumped the list by assisting another older tenant, who put them on their lease(we can have 3 signatories on ours) who then passed the plot directly over to them when they were unable to tend it any more due to ill health.
Bit of a convoluted approach but it got them a plot in under 9months.
Depends if your borough allows multiple signatories and has anything in place to help the older folks though I guess…
