Ours is part of a privately owned and managed (not council) site.  We pay £50 p.a., and no water.  I've never measured the plot, but it's around 30' x 70'.  With hedging between each allotment, so very private.  The only way I can really see what's going on in everyone else's lottie is via Google Map.  ;D  It's like having a second garden.  :)

2.5 poles £10 plus £5 water x 2
If I ever get it all right - then that's the time to quit.

I think ours is going to be around £27 for  a half plot and £40 for a full plot.

I've got one plot that is £21 for 125 sq metres, going up to £42 over that size and up to 250 sq m, with water laid on and an occasional visit from a tractor to cut the grass (no waiting list, lots of space). My other is about 125 and cost £8 with no water, privately owned.

I got my bill today and my rent went up £4 a year to £19, still a great deal.

My plot is 94' x 30' and we have just had our bill in for £25 (it was £21.10 last year).  I don't think this is bad as we get water too and we have just had loads of new taps installed and one is now right by my plot!

I have a half plot, about 30ft by 45ft on a private (rather than council) run site in South Manchester.
Have just paid this years rent, a bargain price of £10.00 plus £1.50 membership. I would be happy to pay twice that amount ! Look at the price of veg in Tescos etc.
Limited parking, reasonable security and no one is more that 2 plots distance from a tap. No toilets but we right next to a railway line with plenty of big trees !!
biggest nuisance is the wretched foxes
