How much is the allotment rent?
Firstly there are Additional Fees
- There will be a one-off charge of £100.00 for you to enter into a tenancy agreement with the council.
- The site keys require a £20 refundable deposit to be paid to Walkers Lane Allotment Association. (Refundable at the end of your tenancy on the production of a receipt.)
- Membership to the allotment association that provide certain facilities on site along with insurance, social events and affiliation to the National Society of Allotment & Leisure Gardeners costs £10 per year and is paid directly to the allotment association.
- As of 1 April 2023, the Council's increased the rent for a plot to £0.45 per square metre.
- Plots vary in size; an average plot works out between £90 and £140 per annum
At the moment there is a waiting list but don't be put off as there are a whole host of reasons why people vacate plots and not all sites have as many on the waiting list.
Hope the above information helps,
Regards,
Paul Cooper (Chairman of Walkers Lane Allotment Association)
