Hello
I was wondering whether you could inform me on price and availibility of allotment s in Weston super Mare
Thanks
Hi Grace, welcome to the site. I don't know the area, but your best bet is to contact your local council and ask the question, alternatively, if you know of a local site, pop in and ask any plotholder! Hope you find one soon and then come back here for any further advice.
Hi Welcome
Is this any help

If not have you tried

The allotments club's site looks a bit out of date because they described two of the sites as still being managed by the town counicl, whereas the town council say (http://www.weston-super-maretowncouncil.gov.uk/community/services/allotments.aspx) they are all five now managed by the club since 2011.
The town council appears still to set the rents which they publish as:
Charges from 1st April 2012
£1.00 per metre for a WsM Resident
£2.00 per metre Non WsM Resident
though without knowing the width that's not a very helpful way of pricing because it's the price per area that you really want to know. Assuming a reasonably typical plot width of 8m that makes the rate £3.13 per pole which is fairly good.
This news article (http://www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/news/more_allotments_for_portishead_1_336867) says there may also be a private allotment site in Portishead if that's any help to you.
Hi Gracerose welcome. We have 2 small plots on Rectors Way aka Clarks field .
This years rent was £1 per metre, it appears it is measured linear and not square. We pay £26 for one and £28 for the other. Where were you hoping to get a plot ? Our waiting lists are years long. If you want to know more, as I know the website is way out of date, pm me. I know a couple of guys on the committee who would give far more info.
