Default Allotments

We are stunned here in Swinton (Manchester) we have been charged a 10 %
increase for no additional services -now
£ 38.50.

Jimbo ;o(

Incidentally forgive my naivety but how is a 'Rod' measured ?

Could all my fellow allotment holders give me some idea how much they
are paying for there allotments I have ten rod plot and my rent for
2007/2008
was £60. 72 pence and a further increase of 25 pence per metre for the
year
2008 /2009.


In Runnymede BC area for the full 10 Rods..
Full cost.... £84. paid by DD it reduces to £79
Over 60.... £42. paid by DD it reduces to £39.50

Mains water is laid on but hosepipes are banned permanently. No other
concessions.

I seem to remember Wandsworth in London was the most expensive, it was
£100. some years ago.
