Message: I moved house in December and have found a full compost bin which looks in good order at the bottom of my garden. This isn't something I would use, so free to anyone who can collect and use it.
Response from Parks: Hi Debbie, in order for us to connect you with someone who would like to take this off our hands, can you please contact Parks and Open Spaces Team on 01909 534525 or email parks@bassetlaw.gov.uk.

Subject: Is there any guidance on shed sizes for allotments?
Message: I don't know what is a reasonable size and I'm about to take a plot. I'd like to do a bit of woodwork there too as I've nowhere to do it at home, so it'd be nice to know how big I'm allowed to go.
Response from Parks: The erection of all temporary buildings, sheds and greenhouses on the Council's allotment sites, must conform to the terms and conditions. These can be found on our 'looking after your allotment' page. If you require any further information, please contact parks@bassetlaw.gov.uk.
