How much is a plot?
A full plot costs £37.00 per year.
A half plot costs £18.50.
There is a 50% reduction for tenants over 60.
What size are the plots?
The plots come in varying sizes ranging from 100m2 – 300m2.
Is running a allotment hard work?
To keep a plot in a good condition we expect plot holders to spend at
least 6 hours working on their plot per week during the growing months
and at least 2 hours per week during winter.
How do I apply for an allotment?
Please call the Parks Helpdesk on 01942 776612 or by e-mail
parks@wlct.org
New plot holders will be required to sign an agreement setting out the
rules for their tenancy of an allotment. Failure to comply with this
agreement can lead to the tenancy being terminated. None cultivation is
the most common reason for an allotment tenancy being terminated.
However do not let this deter you from taking on a plot as there are
many benefits such as good exercise and good home grown food to take
back at the end of the day.
On a number of our allotment sites we have smaller ‘probation’ plots
that are available for inexperienced gardeners on short term leases.
