A message from  the Council Allotments Office –

The updated Allotment Policy is currently in draft format. It will be issued for consultation to internal stakeholders within the Council in January before it is issued for wider consultation across the district, which will include all plot holders, Ward Members and other interested groups. We’ll be in touch in due course with a notification to advertise the wider consultation period.

We would welcome your comments and feedback on the updated draft policy once issued.

The plot recovery works are progressing. The site investigation phase of the work has recently been completed and the reports from this exercise have now been received for each site. This information will be used to inform the main site work, and we have recently met with the Council’s procurement team to begin the process of mapping out the tender exercise which will need to take place during the next few months. Some of the works required are preparatory in nature (i.e. hedge cutting and tree works) and may be carried out by in-house Council teams – we are putting together a plan to commence these works as soon as possible.

The following allotment sites will benefit from the funding:

After an extensive review of the waiting list, the numbers for each allotment site have reduced considerably. Every person on the waiting list was contacted either by email or letter and requested to reply within 14 days to confirm their interest in remaining on the list for an available allotment plot.  Those who did not reply have been removed from the lists.  The current waiting list is now less than 600 which is a considerable reduction from the previous total.

Plots have been continuously offered, and since June there are now an additional 71 new plot holders across the district.
