Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request the following information regarding allotments in your council area:

  1. How many people are currently on the waiting list for an allotment?
  2. What is the average waiting time (in months/years) to be allocated an allotment?
  3. How many allotment plots are currently available?
  4. How many allotment plots does the council manage in total?
  5. Does the council have plans to create additional allotment plots in the next 12 months?

Please provide the most recent available data, ideally broken down by individual allotment site (if possible).

Response

Under Section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act, we have established that this information is not held. This is because Dover District Council has no responsibility for allotments.  The Town Councils within our District are responsible for allotments and their contact details are available on the Council’s website at https://www.dover.gov.uk/Council--Democracy/Town--Parish-Councils/Allotments.aspx.
