The Local Government Association (LGA) has published an online update to the 2nd Edition of Growing in the Community entitled A Place to Grow. The update seeks to address some of the problems that local authorities and devolved management allotment associations are facing as a consequence of the increased demand for allotments. New advice is provided about managing waiting lists and non-cultivation, as well as information about how to design a new allotment site.

'A Place to Grow' is available to download here.

ARI is producing three new factsheets to accompany the update, giving in-depth information on these subjects:

• Managing Non-Cultivation - now available in draft. Comments welcome.
• Designing a New Allotment Site - available soon.
• Managing Waiting Lists - now available in draft. Comments welcome.
