Important safety update - Fire prevention measures ​

As the prolonged dry conditions continue, the risk of fire remains high. We kindly ask everyone to continue observing the temporary prohibition on BBQs, gas burners, and smoking until further notice. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation in helping to keep the allotments and everyone in it safe.

Water conservation update - Temporary hosepipe restrictions​

Due to the ongoing dry conditions, the temporary restrictions on hosepipe use remain in place.

Blue Badge holders may use the hose directly for watering, provided they have informed the Secretary and can present their valid Blue Badge if requested. The name on the badge must match the name of the allotment plot holder recorded in our records.

All plot holders may use the hose to fill their water barrels. However, the hose must not be used directly to water plots unless the user is a verified Blue Badge holder. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us conserve water during this period.

​

Plot inspections​

As you may be aware, the Committee carries out full site inspections throughout the year, with at least two inspections taking place each year.

If, during an inspection, a plot is found to be showing signs of neglect, significantly uncultivated, or there are other concerns such as rubbish, health and safety, fire safety, or breaches of the allotment site rules, the process outlined in the Allotment site rules may be started.

Please do not ignore any communication from the Committee regarding your plot.

We understand that there may sometimes be circumstances that affect your ability to maintain your plot. Working with the Committee is the best way to discuss any concerns, understand what may be required, and find a way forward. Our aim is to work with plot holders to resolve issues wherever possible and help ensure that the site remains safe, well maintained and enjoyable for everyone.
Next inspection date: August 2026, with a further inspection approximately one month later if required, depending on the issues identified.

Committee matters - Have your say ​

If you would like the Committee to consider an issue or matter, please submit it in writing for consideration at one of their upcoming meetings. All current rules and supporting documents are available in the Allotment Site Rules section.
