A small number of our allotment plots have fallen into disrepair during the Covid pandemic. We would be interested to hear from anyone who feels able to take on a vacant overgrown plot that we may otherwise have difficulty letting out.
How much does it cost?
The fee you pay to rent an allotment will depend on the size of the plot. There are various sizes available but an average full size plot is approximately 250m. A plot this size currently has an approximate annual rental charge £60.00.
Concessionary rates are available for the over sixties. Currently this is a 25% discount on the rental charge of a plot. Proof of age may be required.
Rental charges are subject to annual review
