Parks and open spaces

We have allotments for rent in most areas of the borough. Having an allotment not only enables you to grow fresh fruit and vegetables, but can also help improve your health and wellbeing.

Charges

Allotments cost £82.17 a year if the site has a water supply or £40.49 a year if it doesn't. You'll also need to pay a one-off admin fee when you've been offered a plot.

Locations

Our allotment sites are listed below. Due to high demand, we're not taking applications for allotments at some of the sites. Sites marked (W) have a water supply, and you'll be charged the full rate to rent a plot at one of these whether you intend to use the water supply or not.
