rent of your plots does it cost a lottie

[bubblewrap]

Ours are council run, and we pay �36 pa full price or �18 for concessions. We have water and a skip for rubbish (no bonfires allowed )
Not a bad price really, less than �1 per week.

MB did not mention the size of our lottie (300sq yards +)
I will get MB to post photos later on.

Mine is run by a private charity in East London. It's about 45m long by 6m wide and costs �30 rent to the charity and �10 subs to the allotment to cover the water rates etc.

ours are council run �1.60 per pole OAPs half price water butts March to october sheds allowed no bigger than 8x6 greenhouses polytunnels also no bonfires 1 hour before dusk or they get put out by locals

Mine is �25 a year, managed by local town council. Water provided (approx 1 tap per 4 plots), locked gate, sheds allowed, manure provided free, grass cut regularly by guys testing out mowers from old flymo factory.

I was also offered a larger, association run plot in a nearby village at a rent of �12 per year but plumped for the council one because it was less isolated!

Seems to be a variety of rents paid across the country with South Shields being the most expensive!

�32.00 a year for a 252m2 water/ B fire site/ Sheds and green houses not a problem.
Its council run and a quick phone call and you got leaf mould/ chippings/ compost. Got a local farm for muck �15.00 a load but i get mine free cos i used to work for him Chooks are fine to, So not bad in my eyes.

If you have trees on your plot you are not allowed to chop them. If they need to come down you need to repace them with the same viarity before you cut them down.

Consesions..Unemployed must pay �100 and can use any of the amienites.Cos they should be out looking for a job and not gardening.

Consesions[sic]..Unemployed must pay �100 and can use any of the amienites.Cos they should be out looking for a job and not gardening.

Oooh...what about cripples then? Should they be locked away in a home?
We've got lots of unemployed (jobless for one reason or another) and they are the ones keeping an eye on the plots while everyone else is at (paid) work

BTW: �20 ish per year plus �5 water (altho butts encouraged). Sheds and other erections permitted. chickens & children too.

[nick the grief]

Well our Site is a private site (read website below for details - shameless plug) and the rent is �20 including ground rent, water, NSALG & the association membership.

Onaverage they are about 7m x 30m ( some are shorter & wider) or 9.5p/Sq M or about 34p per week either way it's bloody cheap but we still have folks moan.

[dexterdoglancashire]

We pay �10 for half a plot, we dont have a water supply but regular pony poo! Bernie aka Dexterdog

[pigletwillie]

Ours cost �16 each which includes all memberships and fees plus the use of taps for water. If you wish to use a hose pipe it is a further �8 per plot.

We have no toilet facilities but do have composted shreddings and bark chippings provided free, plus the benefits of a fully fenced site with padlocks for which there is a large deposit payable.

Like the idea of an extra charge for hose users, bit hard to enforce though?
