Issue - meetings

To consider a briefing paper on Macclesfield allotment provision.

George Broughton attended the Committee and presented his report on allotment provision in the unparished area of Macclesfield.  The report provided details of the number, location and take up of allotments in the area; how vacant allotments were dealt with; whether there were any arrangements in place for allotments to be run locally; and whether there might be opportunities for allotment federations to be established, in conjunction with the National Society of Allotments and Leisure Gardeners.

Discussion took place.

Agreed - It was agreed that a report would be presented to the next meeting of the Committee which would provide more details as to the practical arrangements which might be made for the running of a local allotments service, including details of finances, officer support and management.
