Allotment share in south-east london

Good day.. hope this is in the right place. I have an allotment in south east London, and am looking for someone/a couple, who is interested in an allotment share. Work pressure prevents me from doing it justice, but sentimentality prevents me from giving it up. it would suit someone with a fair bit of time to commit. feel free to msg me if your interested. Also, has anyone been a part of a share before, and got any tips/ideas/horror stories they would like to share ? thanks-in-advance...

  • I know the rules vary across the country, but on our site an allotment share of the type you envisage is no longer allowed due to the length of the waiting list. If you want someone to take over the running of half the plot you have to inform the Secretary who offers this to the next person on the list. This may sound draconian but it was the only way to stop the nepotism that was going on with plots being treated as personal possessions to be handed on to friends, neighbours and relatives, while people who had been on the list for years never got a look in. Do you know what the rules are on your site?
