Yate People! Can you help find suitable allotment spaces?

Plans to turn a section of unused land into allotment space have been scrapped due to Yate Town Council finally finding the land unsuitable. The list of green-fingered Yate residents is ever growing and in these days of recession the idea of grow your own is becoming more and more popular

An area of land on Stover Road was set aside to be turned into allotments but has now been branded too dangerous to use by the council as there is unsuitable access for pedestrians and vehicles.
There are over 30 people on the waiting list for allotments in Yate and the town council is now asking for people to nominate suitable spaces they could develop.
A steer group has been set up to identify space in surrounding areas including Chipping Sodbury, Iron Acton, Yate Rocks and other surrounding towns.
Are you waiting for an allotment space or do you know of any suitable space for development? Let us know. Can Yate People help solve the problem?
