£58 this year for a full plot in Liverpool

 

[Kea]

£25 here but as Johnmac says above we managed to halt a 100% increase for next year instead it's being increased to £27.50 for about 250 m2...plot sizes are quite variable on our site mine is a little less than this.

[Sunny England]

Just received a letter from Barnet Council. Fees are going up next year from £5.90 per pole to £17 per pole for Barnet residents. 300% increase!! £34 per pole for non-Barnet residents. The extra income should keep a few extra pencil pushers in their jobs on the council.

[Weed-Digga]

23pounds and 25 pence for 5 poles in Slough. This includes water, toilets, an onsite shop,(although there is a small membership fee yearly for this) regular waste removal and sometimes a lorry load of manure. Rent is the same as last year.

£1 a year here in sunny South wales valley's and this is the first year in the last 8 that I have been on the site that it is full . I have had 3 plots to keep them tidy but have let one go this year because we had a waiting list of 1!!!

For a full plot at our site in Liverpool,its £33 for basic rent plus £11.25 for subs,wtaer etc

[sawfish]

The cost of running an allotment (ADMINISTRATION) far out weighs the cost of running an allotment.

Get your selves self managed.

[roycurwen1]

Just gone up to £ 26.00 but i got 1 year free as its overgrown ! Thats in Sandwell in the Black Country  inc water .I think its very good dont you ?

[jonny211]

I paid my bill for a ten-pole plot a couple of weeks ago - £47.10 this year.  It was £47.10 last year too, and £47.10 the year before that as well. ;)  Read your tenancy agreement - if their isn't a fair term to allow the landlord to impose an increase with sufficient notice then the increase can't be enforced.

Out of interest are you the guy Newbury council had to apologise to? If so well done!

Bit confusing here but I think we're up to £13.70 per rod this year in Greenwich (from £6.50), and then it's up to £20 per rod year after that. We have six rods. But then I got a bill for £9.70, (quarter?) and the council refunded us £142 because they've been overcharging us since we got the plot 7 years ago.  ???

Whatever they're charging us it's still cheaper than a gym membership  ;D, but amount of aggro they've been giving us (the ersatz consultation process) about all of this has been really annoying.  >:(
