Councillor Robert Nemeth COUNCILLORS are being asked to look into gardeners’ concerns that allotment plots are lying empty despite a long waiting list. Members of the Brighton and Hove Allotment Federation shared their concerns online about the number of apparently empty plots on 37 sites, while the waiting list runs to more than 2,000 people. Conservative councillor Robert Nemeth, whose partner is an allotment holder, is calling for a report on what Brighton and Hove City Council spends on the service, particularly the £17 charge for joining the waiting list. He has put down a motion for debate on the subject at a meeting of the full council on Thursday (15 July).
