I pay £1 a year for mine in Oxfordshire. There is no great security on site, but there are a number of water taps situated around the plot.

I have 3/4 of a plot, rent £18 pounds last year, with water included. That's in Northampton. A full plot is about £24. I don't know how security could be made any better yet expensive and power tools go missing and sheds are damaged. Usually when travellers are camped nearby, but I would never dare suggest the two are connected.

This is probably a daft question but all those of you with no water on site...how do you water your plants? A water butt is OK but unless it rains a lot they can soon run dry.
Got my lottie key yesterday, £5 for key and £3.99 for ID photos. Am only allowed one key , no copies to be made so haven't worked out yet how my daughter is goingt o be on site when I'm not if she can't have a key.

£42.50 per year for mine. I too thought this was cheap until i found out what others are paying. We have no water neither.
Lottie neighbour says he's never gone short of water just using water butts, in over 30 years. I think he has quite a lot of them though. I've only got an old dust bin to use so far......

We just got ours and we have great security on the site, running water, taps are every 3 plots, and a 50% discount for being a leisure card holder.
we pay £2.90 a rod, about 25m squared we have 10 rods so we pay £14.50 a year. Southampton City Council are really positive about there allotment progam.

Nitiram, you will see us non tappers doing raindances regularly, early on Sunday mornings, when our mange tout plants are wilting and our spuds aren't swelling!
Seriously though, I encorporate masses and masses of chunky organic 'stuff' into our clay ground. Then only water when I am sowing seeds or transplanting seedlings. I have 4 water butts. However, I have been a touch lucky of late as our allotment neighbour, who is also the site secretary, lives next door to my plot, and she has kindly allowed me to use her hose to help things along!

EJ it must be hard work, but in a way very environmentally aware as we are being encouraged to conserve water. What do you mulch with? Is anything better at keeping in moisture than others?

£18.50 for a 10 pole plot per year.
It's going up in the autumn to £20 but last year there was no rise.
Water standpipe every few plots, but I still have a butt connected to the shed roof guttering. If we start getting water rationing then I shall be playing silly beggars with hoses in order to link several butts to the roof.

Nitiram, I mulch with anything and everything! Grasscuttings have been going down inbetween my rows of spuds. Old compost from seedtrays or old pot plants, baskets etc has been put down around my runnerbeans and rotted horsey poop has been going down around my corns and squashes. I make as much compost as I possibly can, and dig that in over winter and early spring, even the chunky stuff - altho that tends to go where the spuds are destined.
Only small...where about's in Chelmsford is your plot? We are in Danbury.

On our site the rent is £10 and £15 for a slightly longer one. The water is in cisterns, only 2 on site so not so good. The council cuts the grass on the main path twice a year but apart from that, zilch.

So why are our rents £48 per annum, due to go up to £52 in January 2006? And then the lady in charge complains that no one seems to be interested!!! Roll on when i am 60 and I get it half price, only another 4 years to go.
