Response 18-01-2023

1. 28 on the waiting list

2. 13 on the waiting  list

3a) Moray Council does not currently manage any allotment sites directly.  (We are currently working with Elgin Allotments Association to provide a site in Elgin). The earliest date on the waiting list is 28/8/18.  The waiting list reached 10 on 12/7/21 and  15 on 17/1/22

b) 1439 (three of the names on the list in 2018 have no application date recorded, so I have calculated these as 1/9/18 for this exercise)
