Hi I was wondering, how much you lottie holders pay a year for your plots. mine is £7.50 for a half plot, there is no mains water.
There is no shed on my plot, but they are allowed, bit plenty of weeds !!!!! ::)

Iain. The allotment I am hoping to get very soon(!) is £3 for half a plot at the moment but going up to £4 for half. There is no running water there but sheds are allowed too. It is only a small village site so no shop, toilets or such luxuries! :'(

Twenty quid a year, sheds allowed, running water, toilets, store open twice a week, security fence with gate code, concrete roadways between plots for easy access. I like it :)

hi Bupster....

sounds very tempting over there :D

sounds positively palacial Bupster :)

£18 squid, running water, car-park, fenced with padlocked gate, and shed s allowed.

We are still council run at the mo, but there is talk of becoming association run - not sure yet how that will effect us!

£10 for small plot (they are all small - it's a city centre site)
stand pipe for water, as well as large communal water butt
concrete path ways between plots
no facilities but that's ok as it's round the corner from everyone's house (only residents of three streets surrounding allotments are allowed one)

£21 for 600sq yds, plus £3 association membership. No water, but secure on individual plots, very few restrictions, no livestock allowed. I think it is excellent value.

£49 per year! Sheds allowed (I inherited one, and a knackered fruit cage), mains water from April to November, toilet, store open Saturday pm and Sunday am.

Cheers,
Rob ;)

£16 half plot £19 full plot! but even the half plots are quite large.

Livestock limited to 12 hens & 6 rabbits!
Sheds greenhouses etc allowed but permission should be granted before building.
No conrete.

£2.10 per 25sq mts!

No dogs, (assume no livestock) no pruning without permission! no hose pipes, no shed without permission, no trading, and dare I say no atmosphere!

We have water troughs with running water, a central tarmac road up between the plots, fencing and security loacks, and a shop that opens both days at w/es.

Half of the site is unused, all in all a council plot!

£52 , running water, sheds allowed.
no toilets, no shop, no livestock , no burning your rubbish and 2 skips a year per 50 plots ( got to be quick to get any thing in before its full)

£34 for 600 square yards, including the Association sub. No sheds over a certain size, no bees, and no notice taken of these rules! The only real rule is, don't be a nuisance to anyone, but this is suspended for Association secretaries and their spouses! The current one is OK though.

joji · « **Reply #12 on:** January 13, 2006, 18:18:59 »

£42.20 for a plot the size of a football field. No water, no shop, no toilets, 1 very rotten shed, and no allotment society. :(

mc55 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 13, 2006, 19:27:41 »

£19.00 for allotment per year, £19.00 ish for water, £1.50 for key to site.

Sheds & buildings seem to be allowed and there is certainly concrete on my plot. Shop on a Sunday I believe (tho' not found it yet) and have my own loo but too frighted of my resident rats to use ! Security gates, car parking, free leaf mould and bark chipping ... council trimmed privet hedges last week and took away mess.

£37.00 for full plot, no shed ( but allowed..but not painted any colour but brown!!..bang goes my blue paint then!) water troughs, 'locked' gates, all grass paths and main entrance path, no parking..no loo (3 miles from my house!!), no shop.... but lots of foxes

grawrc · « **Reply #15 on:** January 14, 2006, 23:39:51 »

Ours is an association site rented to us by the council. I pay £15 a year for my plot. (Up from £10 last year). It is about 90x30feet (I think). :-\ I'll check.
I have 2 sheds and a greenhouse left by previous tenant. There are several standpipes running off the mains and I have a permanent hose connection to my plot. There is a hose junction at my shed which takes water to the plots beyond. There is a high barbed-wire fence round the perimeter and a padlocked gate.

There is parking space and I can also park right at my plot. Main entrance path is largely mud but side paths are grass. Dogs allowed if restrained but no other livestock.

£2.50/perch/year -- I have 17 perch.

We have running water and are allowed sheds, but we have an horrendous deer problem which the council will not resolve.

£13.00 for 300 sq yards, got water piped in , car park, manure bay, toilet, shed,

Merry Tiller · « **Reply #18 on:** January 16, 2006, 00:06:14 »

10 rods = £23 per year, plenty of mains water taps, hosepipes allowed, reasonably secure & supplied with brick built sheds.

Council run it very well, it might have something to do with the fact that 4 of the council parks dept. lads have plots there

zaz283 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 17, 2006, 08:37:37 »

£10 pa for 300 sq yds, water troughs, no shed provided but can keep chickens.

Allotments at these prices have to be the bargain of the year!
