Here in Hay-on-Wye a landowner has offered the use of 2 acres for allotments. Nothing has yet been finalised but the idea is that the council will lease the land and manage the allotments along with the already existing allotment society - both of whom have been consulted and are very keen. In Kington a similar arrangement is up and running - they ran a poster campaign about allotments and as a result a landowner came forward.

Julian, most towns have a Charity for the town (We have two here) and they could hold leases on your behalf if you asked them nicely.

Charity status?! Does anybody know of a srep by step guide? I feel that community gardens are probably a fundamental first step in bringing communities together and thus instigating wider 'transition' initiatives so any help as to how to develop them would be most valuable.
