Allotment rules and regulations

Security and maintenance

All tenants share responsibility for the security of an allotment site at all times and shall enter and leave the allotment site only through the authorised boundary gates. Children must be supervised by an appropriate adult at all times.

Each of the boundary gates of an allotment shall be padlocked and tenants shall lock these at all times on entering and leaving. Where applicable, each tenant shall ensure that keys are retained securely.

The key to the allotment site remains the property of the Council and/or Association and is issued to a tenant strictly for the purposes of access to and egress from an allotment site and is not transferable to any other person.

A tenant is responsible for the security of any greenhouse, shed, property etc., on their allotment plot.

Each tenant shall not enter an un-let allotment plot or one let to another person or remove any item or materials from said allotment plots.

Issues relating to general site maintenance on Council managed allotments must be reported to the Business Support Team (Allotments) or via the Association where appropriate.

Tenants are required to number their plot on the gate/fence of their plot.
