Allotments

 

Have you thought of the benefits an allotment could bring you, including eating freshly organic grown vegetables, the health benefits through exercise and fresh air?

 

Dudley Council own a total of 38 allotments sites at various locations within the borough. There are 32 sites that are managed by allotment associations and 2 which are managed by the Council. Four other sites are currently redundant.

 

 

 

The average allotment is a plot of land comprising of 300sq yards (or 253sq.m.). On your allotment plot you can grow fruit and vegetables or flowers.

 

Council managed plots are rented out at £6.80 per 50m² per annum. Where an allotment site is managed by an association, the rent is determined by the association. A returnable deposit may be requested if a key to the site is required. 

 

Contact us, as per the details below, to determine if a plot is available at a council managed site or for the contact details of association run sites. Some sites are in particular demand and a waiting list may exist, if this is the case you will be added to the list and contacted when a plot becomes available. If a plot on a Council managed site is available an Allotments Officer will meet you at the site for you to view the vacant plot.

 

Once you have selected a plot you must sign a tenancy agreement before your possession of the plot can be granted.

 

If you wish to erect a shed or greenhouse you must seek permission from the Parks Development Team, as per the contact details below.
