LONDON, August 1/PRNewswire/ --

- Revolutionary New Upgrades Made to Allotments Community Website

Allotments-UK (http://www.allotments-uk.com), the longest running online
community for allotment users in the UK, today announced the launch of a host
of new upgrades for its dedicated users.

Allotments-UK was created in 2004 by allotment enthusiast Sally Berry to
help UK allotment users find, manage and get the best from their allotments.
Since then, the Allotments-UK membership has grown to over 3,000 members and
receives around 250,000 hits per month.

Allotments-UK now offers a unique combination of tools and the most
comprehensive source of allotments information on the web. New features
include:

- Allotments-UK TV: Dedicated online TV channel with news, interviews and
tips.

- Allotments-UK Articles: Articles from users on how to get the best out
of your allotment.

- Allotments-UK Blogs: Diaries and pictures from users' allotments.

- Allotments-UK Maps: UK-wide map of users' allotments.

These innovative upgrades put the site at the forefront of community site
design.

Sally Berry, allotment owner for 35 years and site manager for
Allotments-UK commented:

"Users of the site have been demanding these new features for a while.
The most popular is the mapping system which enables our users to plot their
allotment on a map of the UK. The map then links to their allotment blog
where they can update pictures and information about their allotments. The TV
channel now has its first content and we are excited about bringing this
state of the art functionality to our users. Allotments are finally getting
the attention they deserve."
