Hi new to the site, have put a land wanted add up on the main page and also started my own group as there don't seem to be many people in my area So just wondering what tactics people have used to get the 6 people needed to contact the parish council or how I go about finding unused land or allotments in my area. As google is failing me :(

General groups
Get together with Landsharers in your area to form a local community. You can use your group to find and share advice and information local to your area, and arrange to meet up to swap seeds, produce, and help. You could also start a group for Landsharers with a particular interest or specialism.
Organisations
Organisations that want to share their work with Landshare and offer land can set up their own hub on the website. Your organisation allows you to collate all your listings in one place, keep a regular blog that any admin of your organisation can add to, and post documents and other files.
