Forgot to mention - my plot comes with free slugs!!!

[beansticks]

My plot is approx 9mts x35mts and i am ashamed to say it only costs £2.50 a year,which includes water on tap.When i first joined 3 years ago the 1st year was free.Ours is a self managed site,yet owned by the local authority.

:shock:  wow

... this I'd just had my bill so I could remember.  I think it's about £30 for the year, but that includes mains water and the use of a petrol lawnmower and strimmer.  We also get large deliveries of free bark chippings and compost from the council and we get free deliveries of old pallets (courtesy of moi!).  On pondering I think its £27!

My plot is 10 rods, but I have no idea what that actually means, because all of the plots on our allotments are supposed to be 10 rods and they're all different sizes ...

i have 2 plots on 2 different sites,the one plot is 30ftx100ft has two taps and is twelve pound a year and a pound a year for water,so 13 pound a year which includes a free pint at the anual meeting next week the second plot round the corner is 20x40ft and is 7 pound for the year and 3 pound insurance ,water is included,on second plot there are communal sheds and tools including a rotavator,communal pile of manure for free,ive had free scaffolding boards and water butts,great

As stated earlier mine is only£2.50 per year,however many of you talk of chip bark being delivered,this sort of thing does not happen on our plots,being self managed the council does not provide this sort of thing.Though they do give us paving slabs (seconds) for the paths.

... if you do your sums, my so called free bark chippings are costing me £25 a year ...  :shock: ... best I get my lil wheelbarrow working to get my money's worth!!

[frazzy]

my plot is currently at £30.00 a year but have just heard its going up next year to about £90.00 :cry: i cant help feeling  down. i think allotments should be for all walks of life not just the rich boohoo Norwich City council .
Sadly for me it will be struggle for me to pay that amount  :cry:

[muntjac]

i wouldnt think the council could do that much of a raise . check the details first then play up like hell if it is ,and demand to know what your getting for ur money ,., free everything i would ask for ,,,,,,,, if i didnt gte it the row would be heard in tessa jowits toilet bowl

Maybe you could put together a list of other prices from this thread.  Print them up as a petition for all your lotty neighbours and present it to the Council.  Don't forget to leak a copy to the local press.

Seems like they may have a hidden agenda ...

Well David I could understand that clip, when relatives of the ex visited from Glasgow and had partaken of the alcoholic beverage or ten I could not understand a word.  I just hoped that I laughed at the right time and went oh no when required.  Never again.
