chem1st 10 #8 Posted May 23, 2015 A standard allotment is 1/16th of an acre, some 253m^2. 65^2 is about 1/4 of an allotment. So you are paying roughly the equivalent of £160 per year for an 'allotment'. That is very very expensive! If it was £12 for 253m^2, that'd be good value. In Worksop it is £8 per year for 253m^2.

On Parson Cross Community Gardens. Think you have the wrong place. I have a "double" and it is £12 per year. Rising to £14 next year. And no livestock are allowed I am afraid.
