Allotments are available throughout the Borough.
Special 
rates are offered to
senior citizens. The council runs 13 allotment sites and there are
a further 12 sites run by other organisations in the borough. If
you are interested in renting an allotment apply
online.
You can apply to rent an allotment at any time - though it is
often best to take a plot in the Autumn so you can prepare it for
Spring planting. The annual rent is reviewed every year and
varies according to the allotment site. Concessions are often
available for pensioners, the registered disabled and the
registered unemployed.
Sites usually include security fences, piped water supplies and
toilets. Some have parking and society trading huts.
You don't have to have any prior gardening knowledge and will
usually find plenty of advice from your fellow plot-holders.
There is an annual competition with prizes for the best-kept
plot.
