Hi Bloke!
A 10 pole plot in Newbury costs the tenant £69.40, and then the tax-payer pays another £390. If a 10 pole plot from Great Yarmouth & Gorleston Allotments Association costs the tax-payer nothing, how much does it cost the tenant?
Hi Simon,
for a 10 rod plot in our borough,
cost = £20 + £6.00 for Water (not available on all sites at present) + £2.00 affiliation fees to NSALG, + £1 admin / site secretary fees.
Total outlay = £29 per yr.
For a plot on a site without water supply, Total cost = £23 per yr
we also charge a one-off payment of 25p for a share in the association, all tenants are shareholders with a right to vote at our AGM.
rgds, the bloke in the street.
