FOI request to get the details?
Simon we all know they are talking bollox, and if they are tuning in, its still bollox. :( :( :(
That is riduculous i can't imagine anyone paying £500 for half an allotment and certainly not £1000 for a whole one. Not even the most expensive private schemes charge that much.
Simon, you can email me with any details you may have, name of councillor who stated this, date of occurence, etc. I'll quite happily ask under FOI !!
As part of Newbury Town Council's on-going campaign to suppress self-management the Council have said that there are self-managed sites that charge £100 per pole. They won't tell me which councils so I can't verify this for myself, so I wondered if you knew, because it sounds unlikely.[a tenant] asked if Newbury Town Council had checked other councils' charges, and [the service manager] stated that we had investigated other allotments fees, adding that we had found that some self managed sites were as much as £100.00 / pole.
Research of rents reported on the internet suggests a wide variety of rents, depending on a variety of factors and level of service, so a true comparable average is difficult to establish.
