For around 30p/m2-odd a month, the council will:

  • Appoint a site Steward for each Allotment site
  • Divide the Allotment land at each Allotment site into plots (allotments) measured in both square metres and poles
  • Prepare a plan showing the Allotments and give each Allotment a separate number
  • Keep a register of vacant Allotments
  • Keep a waiting list of people who would like an Allotment
  • Allocate the Allotments fairly in accordance with the preferences set out below
    ---To people resident within the Newbury Town Parish boundary
    ---To people who do not have another Allotment
    ---If more than one person with equal priority would like to take over an Allotment the issue will be determined by drawing lots:
  • Maintain and manage the common areas of the Allotment sites and vacant plots
  • Provide a key (for a £10 deposit) for each Tenant
  • Provide adequate water supplies and a minimum of one tap in each Allotment site for use with chemical containers to avoid contamination of the water troughs
  • Promote Allotments to parishioners and actively encourage their take-up
  • Hold regular meetings with site Stewards
  • Respond to concerns of Stewards and Tenants
  • Identify neglected Allotments and give notice to the Tenant to cultivate at least 70% of the Allotment within 30 days or relinquish their Tenancy, unless there are mitigating circumstances such as illness, which has been advised to the Council
  • Issue no more than 3 "30 days notice" letters to the same tenant for the same plot in any one calendar year. If the tenant once again leaves their plot neglected after 3 "30 days notice" they will be evicted (in accordance with rule 1.m)
  • Fix the Rent for each Allotment having regard for its area and review its Rent once a year.


I must admit, I have never seen any attampt by the council to promote or actively encourage me to apply for an allotment! It would also seem that all plots are measured in m2

This is rapidly turning into an "Allotment Forum".
I don't particularly have a problem with that as I just try and ignore such threads.
However, arguing on here till you're blue in the face seems to me to be not helping Simon or any other allotmenteers.
Perhaps if you took your case here Simon they may be able to help you better?
No doubt you are already aware, and probably a member of, such an organisation?

Like I have said before, people are free to start their own personal vendetta thread if they like (not that I have one of course... I'm just a sad and lonely forum user who likes to grumble and witter!)! tongue.gif

The repair man was fine but when he couldn't repair the appliance the customer service from Hotpoint "Customer Services" was poor.

Well from your point of view anyone who crticises or does not agree with our two local authorities whether a pleb or not would be deemed as strange! rolleyes.gif

We are yet to see any of that.

What we do have is minor nitpicking over trivial technicalities. Lets have something, anything, worthy of 'Rotton Boroughs'.....

I don't see misleading councillors as any of those.
