Lease
The lease has been approved by the Council and has been signed. We are pleased to inform you that work to prepare the site for the coming season will start shortly.
The site has an area of 3600sq m. It is planned to get the ground ready for the 2011 growing season, this will be done by ploughing and harrowing the ground.
Each of 35 allotments will be provided with a 6x4 ft shed with rainwater collection and water butt storage. A composter will also be provided for each site.
A chain link fence and natural hedge screen will provide security, the fence will be supplemented with a rabbit fence. A vehicle access area will allow collection and drop off of heavy or bulky items.
