AS more and more townsfolk switch to the good life there is a growing demand for allotments in Alcester.

All 102 of Alcester Town Council’s allotments in Bleachfield Street and Allimore Lane are occupied with a further 24 people on a waiting list and the council is looking at new sites for further development.

Councillor Nick Dearling, chair of the town council’s amenities committee, said: “We have looked at a number of new sites including an area in Cold Comfort Lane but unfortunately that was not suitable so our search continues.

“It is good that so many people want to grow their own plants and vegetables and we want to be able to support them.”

An allotment competition is due to take place in July.
