Officials from Diss Town Council are looking to work with their neighbours in Roydon to identify a suitable piece of land to meet the demand for more allotments.
The town's 60 allotment plots are already fully occupied and clerk Deborah Sarson told councillors on Wednesday night that there were not many tracts of land available in Diss. She added that informal discussions had begun with Roydon Parish Council to find a solution.
Glyn Walden, who leases an allotment plot in the town, added that the number of green fingered residents on the allotment waiting list had reduced in recent months.
