Just a quick survey what is the average price you would have to pay for an allotment size roughly
126ft x 26ft per year
Thanks
I don;t have it now as I moved and have sufficient space in my garden now (just... ) but two years ago I had about 130ft by 36ft and it was £12. This was in Oxfordshire
mat
30ft x60ft (10 rods I think) £35 Aprox
My plot is 10 rods and costs £24 per annum in London. I think yours is a little larger - about 12 rods.
Mines a bit of an odd ball,
triangular 200x 150x90
£27 per year,it goes up at 50p per year.
but no water laid on.
have to catch all mine,robinofthehood pays the same but hes on the posh site
with water on tap. ;D ;D ;D
hi there
not sure what size my plot is (will measure it next time i am there) but i pay £45 a year, mine has water on tap and toilets and a traiding shed/shop open at weekends. its a big site with over 200 plots.
I have two 10 rod plots @ £13.00 for the two also water
Ours is 56'x18' classed a half plot. We paid £12.50 inc insurance & a key, we also have water on site. Tap is about 20' from our plot. We get it for half price as we are OAPs.

I'm on a council site. They have put 3 new tanks in, new gates and track this winter. And they provided free wood chips for a parking area. Thanks Ceres never was much good at Maths
Mine is a full size plot, water about 10 meters away, security fencing around the site which has about 20 plots on it. £12.50 per year

Oops, sorry taurus! I should have used a quote - the 12 rods I referred to is Johno. Just worked yours out - it's approx 6.6 rods. Sorry!
mine is 120 x 24 cost me £12.00 a year running water concrete path free chippings £10 for a 3 ton of manure plenty of advice free allways a freindly smile and a cup of tea
25' by 80' at £15.00 a year and no extras
Thanks Ceres, that makes them a bit expensive compared by what others are posting. I'm going to be watching what others are paying with great interest.
Our standard 10 poles are £24 next year, £20 this. Toilets and Tap water on site.
Derby Average for 10 poles was £48 three years ago... :)
I have a half plot and we pay £32 per year. We have water tanks, leaf mould supplied and a trading hut where we can but all our goods which is open twice a week.
We have a 50 x 65ft and we pay £5 a year. Water is very close and included. Thats in bedfordshire.
10 rods here is £87 pa :( :(
lbb in surrey
Water and Toilets?
Now I'm jealous,
had to buy 16 125ltr barrels +2 1000ltr tanks
to keep up with my water though dry spells,
Oh not forgeting a bucket ;D ;D ;D
hey
i measured my plot today :)
it is roughly 90ft x 20ft.
how do i work out how many rods that is??
thanks
A rod is 5.5 yards or 16.5 feet so divide 90 by 16.5 and 20 by 16.5 then multiply the two results together to give you the square rod area.
so i make it 6.5 roods, is that right??
Spot on!
11.50 running water7 months of the year in oxfordshire
In Maidstone we pay £2.40/rod and £0.60/rod for water rates. So £3.00 per rod, really.
so £45 for 6.5 rods seems alot compared to what others pay :(
me again lol
just looked on the council web site for the allotments. it says that the price for the allotments i am on is £4.12 per rod. so that would mean i should be paying £26.78 not £45 for my 6.5 rod plot.
what should i do about this? i wouldnt mind a few pounds but that is a bit of a difference. anyone had experience of this?
thanks
