General Allotments
The Allotments are situated on the corner of Middlemoor Road and to the rear of the houses on Newton Road.
All allotments are managed and administered by the Whittlesford Parish Council.
Whittlesford Parish Council is a member of the National Allotment Society and recommends that all allotment tenants sign up to become members themselves.
There are approximatley 60 plots and are usually in high demand and often a waiting list.
The Allotment year runs from 1st October – 30th September and tenancies are renewed on an annual basis.
Current rent per plot is £29 plus a £7 contribution to mains water.
Allotments are for the growing of fruit, vegetables and flowers and for personal use only.
Community Orchard
The Community Orchard began as a pilot project back in 2011, where a sub committee of the parish council used a small allotment plot which aleady had some mature apple trees and planted 9 other fruit trees, the trees a mixture of Apple, Pear, Cherry, Plum and greengage were planted, the trees soon established and by the Spring of 2012 they were thriving. 2013 saw the first fruits and the trees have continued to mature over the years. Anyone is welcome to harvest the fruit from the trees.
Community Allotment
A New Community project recently launched in 2022 of a Community Allotment, the community allotment allows you to get involved in the same way but without having to take on a whole plot. Would you like to be a part of a working group who can meet as little or as often as you wish, there are always plenty of odd jobs from general to more technical with a friendly working outdoor community group.
