Allotment Prices
"Chris wrote in message Just wondering what allotment prices are like around the country. Here in Boston, Lincs it`s a very reasonable £13.00 a year for a 10m x 30m plot. How big that is in rods I have no idea. It's about a year since we went over this so..... A Rod (Pole or Perch) is actually a linear measurement of 5.5 yards or 16.5 feet. So a Square Rod is 272.25 sq.ft or 30.25 sq.yards (x 0.8361= 25.29 sq metres). A normal Allotment plot is either 5 or 10 Sq.Rods (Including pathways). At 300 sq.metres your plot is 358.8 sq.yards or 11.86 sq.Rods. (the sq. is normally dropped) Our Council, Runnymede BC charge £7.40 per Rod rising to £7.60 next year. It's slightly cheaper if you pay by DD, and there is a 50% reduction if an OAP. No hoses to be used at all. So 10 Rods is £74 here, yet in Windsor BC next door it's about £18. I understand some in London pay £100 or more for the normal 10 Rods. -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |
