Charge
An annual management fee will be payable for allotment plots on Council managed/owned sites.
For Council managed allotment sites the annual management fee for the allotments will be due on 1 April each year. The annual management fee shall be set by the Council at its sole discretion.
The Council shall consider any management fee not paid in full within 30 days of the invoice date as an indication that the tenant of that allotment plot wishes to give up the allotment tenancy. Following a defined timescale, the Council shall be entitled to enter upon the allotment plot and remove all items and building or erections and make the allotment plot available for re-letting to another person.
Changes to circumstances that affect your ability to pay, must be advised in writing to the Business Support Team (Allotments). The Council will review specific circumstances and offer support and guidance.
Annual management fees and any other charges that may be payable are subject to annual review and tenants will be notified of any increase in advance. To cover costs, charges will be based on a rate per square metre and what services are provided, which may vary from site to site.
When an allotment plot is allocated in a secure site, a key will be issued to the tenant.
A tenant shall notify the Business Support Team (Allotments) of any lost / stolen keys.
