The average plot is 252 square metres, currently costing under £40 per year. You may also need a gate key, which you can hire from about £4 to £6 (costs vary from site to site; there is a 50% discount available to over 60s). We own 17 allotment sites, including three sites which are managed by the allotment associations on the sites themselves. The full list of council-owned allotments is below, along with locations.
