Rents & Fees:
Rent for allotment plots are managed by the Association Treasurer, who issues rent notices each year.
Rents are fixed per rod, with the rental fee corresponding to the size of a plot. Current rates for the 2024 season are:
£4.00 per rod
£40.00 for a full 10 rod plot.
Concessionary rates are available for plot holders aged over 60, reducing the price of a 10 rod plot to £30.00. Concessionary rates are only available on full plots.
Rental agreements can be obtained from the beginning of November or at the yearly AGM meeting, and are payable by the end of November.
Alongside the rent payment, allotment holders are required to pay a compulsory £3 subscription to the National Society of Allotment & Leisure Gardeners. This subscription helps to support the work of the Society, who are dedicated to protecting the interests of allotment holders and gardeners across the UK. In return all plot holders have access to the resources and guidance available on the Society website, access to free digital copies of the Allotment & Leisure Gardener magazines or a £10 per annum subscription for physical copies, liability insurance, and discounted seeds ordered through the Kings Seeds Scheme.
No additional payment is required for the use of mains supplied water on the site.
Failure to pay the rent and subscription by the due date may result in a plot being forfeited, and re-let to a new tenant.
