Allotment rents to rise 300%
London Borough of Barnet, north London, plans to triple allotment rents
next year. This seems such a regressive, destructive action. Is this happening across the country? Paul. -- Paul reply-to is valid |

As I understand it, allotment rents vary quite a lot across the country - I've seen a range of £8 pa to £80 pa, with the average being in the £20 to £40 bracket. But there does seem to be a trend of councils 'removing subsidies' and increasing rents. There are discussion of this on www.allotments4all.co.uk for example http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/...?topic=65069.0 where one poster reports that Nottingham are intending to increase by 20% pa (from roughly £40 pa) for each of the next five years. Obviously that isn't tripling the rent, but you can see which way the wind's blowing. |

Ours have just gone up to £9 this year and will probably be going up to £10 next year but we don't plan to increase any more for a while. The increase is to cover extra water tanks. Pam in Bristol |
