Guest strapper Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 there is usually a waiting list for allotments , but you could advertise ur predicament in the local press ,ud might be surprised at the offers.
OLDYELLOW Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 yup place an add in paper and ask for land to rent , im sure you'l be supprised at the offers , alternatively ask your local council where are there local alotments and if any available usualy they have an alotment manager on hope you get sorted
lawrie Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 couldnt you ask a naighbour if you could use there garden. in return do up their garden nice and keep it looking good.

grizzle_hen Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Remember there is also the Pigeonbasics Fund to help out http://pigeonbasics.com/fund/
REDCHEQHEN Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Our local authority - is available on line - and you can see on-line which allotments are available - this includes some for keeping pigoens - and applications can be made on-line why don't you look to see if your local authority has this on-line facility
Guest Greig the doo Drysdale Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 I had my birds in my garden but soled my house was lucky enough that I got my brother involved in pigeons a few years ago now I have my lofts at his allotment in between him and a good friend of mine JAMESB on here. maybe do the same mate and squeeze a loft in beside some club mates am sure they will make space for you. Good luck whatever you do mate
ChrisMaidment08 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 ;D ;D nice one but if basic.s fund could help surely it could help anyone who lose.s loft or home in which case there is very nice bloke who just lost his home as councle wanted house3 beds he had 5 days to move house 3 lofts perhaps if i tell him to contact richard he might get some help
