Allotments come in many shapes and sizes along with the numbers of alloments in each area. The Allotment Association represents the allotment holders from each through the allotment committee. Each allotment elects a rpresentative each year the representative serves for two years.

The system works well with no one having to serve on these committees for any great length of time, Haringey has some 40 alloements sites with some 1,200 allotments rented out
