Allotments

Does anyone know where there may be an allotment available in our area for a family committed to growing their own produce and living a more healthy lifestyle.

If so could you drop me a line either by the forum or by my email.: d_1jones@yahoo.com

Many Thanks

Re: Allotments

I think there are some at Landgate, behind the houses just past Sougher's Lane.

David thanks, do you know whether they are private or through the borough council?

Re: Allotments

I don't know. It was a resident from one of the houses on Wigan Road just past Soughers Lane that told me one was vacant three or four years ago. You could try asking at one of the houses backing on to the allotments.

Another option is to try the Newton-le-Willows Gardeners' Association (http://www.nlwgardeners.homestead.com/).
