SIR,

Why is there currently such a large waiting list for allotments, when there is suitable land laying fallow on the Vauxhall Fields? 

Surely if there was the political will for encouraging such a healthy pastime the matter could be speedily resolved. 

Ample funds are readily available and it would eventually be self financing.

 A lot of people are very thankful and pleased with whoever is responsible for tidying up the embankment on the River Monnow in front of the Gatehouse. 

May it long continue, particularly over the next summer.  Thank you very much.

 J Roocroft
