When you take on an allotment plot you are expected to use it for cultivation and to maintain certain standards.

We expect to see a minimum of:

• 25 per cent of the plot cultivated in the first year
• 50 per cent in the second year
• 75 per cent in the third year

When looking after your plot we expect you to:

• keep it tidy to a reasonable level
• keep all your belongings within your plot
• be considerate to other plot users
• park appropriately

To help manage the areas of your plot that are not cultivated, we recommend using a weed control membrane or alternative. Please contact us to purchase weed suppressant materials.

Regular inspections are carried out at each allotment site to ensure plots are being looked after and cultivated properly.

If you are not maintaining your plot inline with the cultivation levels outlined above, you will be served a non-cultivation notice. Failure to regularly cultivate will result in your plot being lost. Please contact us if you are struggling to maintain a plot.

All sites have gates that are locked with a combination padlock. You are given a combination on allocation of a plot. You must ensure that the site is properly locked after you enter and after you leave.
