I think I must be one of the lucky ones. Our site is town council run and my plot is 150 square metres. Last year it cost £11.97, including water and the site has a security fence. Just before Christmas I got a rather apologetic letter explaining just why the rent was going up to £12.27.

I really don't know how some councils justify three figure rents.

One report I've seen in Leeds suggest the council may try to put up the rents from £38.50 this year, to around £160!

I doubt (and really hope) that it won't happen though.

Our rent is calculated on £4.50 per rod and includes water, membership of the lottie trading hut, but no toilets. We used to get a skip once a year but this stopped a year ago as it got filled with non-lottie holder rubbish (mattresses as you can imagine).
We get manure and wood chips delivered sporadically, this goes really quickly, and you have the option to pay £5 per year to have the grass path round your plot cut throughout the year.

100+ on the waiting list ??

I pay £40 a year for 125 sq m which seems good value to me. A plot near has a nice riverside location but because it is private they pay £240 a year!

320 Euro per year for 270 Sq Mtrs - private site, very few public ones here in Ireland and where they do exist there are massive waiting lists .  At the moment we don't pay for water but I suspect that will change later this year.

They vary from one place to another Islip are £15.00 for 10 with no water. I'll get the phone number for you, they like to give locals priority but you never know.
