Would you like an allotment?

In the last few months, three villagers have said they would like to have an allotment. If any other villagers would like one, please write to Carol Smith, the Parish Clerk and let her know.

If six (or more) villagers write to the Parish Council asking for allotments, the council has a duty to provide them. There are provisions under the Small Holdings and Allotments Act of 1908 that enable land to be acquired.

So if you are interested, please write to Carol today. The sooner we know there are at least six people wanting them, the sooner we can start the process of finding and acquiring some land.

Carol can be contacted at: 6 Locksash Close, West Wittering, Chichester. PO20 8QP or by email at: hunstonpc@f2s.com.
