Ellesmere Port and Neston Borough Council owns 22 allotment sites throughout the borough, which are available for an annual rental charge.
Most sites are permanent and have a water supply. For those that don't, water butts can be purchased from garden centres to assist with irrigation of crops.
The following sites have a water supply:
Sites without water supply:
Full plot (permanent) with water £28.80
Full plot (permanent) without water £22.10
Full plot (temporary) £14.20
Half plot (permanent) with water £14.40
Half plot (permanent) without water £11.10
Half plot (temporary) £7.10
For most sites we have a colony steward who shows potential plot holders the vacant plots and is the point of contact between plot holders and the borough council.
The council does not cultivate un-tendered plots but can offer a reduced rate for new holders if the plot they choose is uncultivated or overgrown.
Allotments can provide an ideal opportunity for healthy eating, an alternative form of physical activity and a very popular pastime. There are many experienced gardeners throughout the allotment community who are willing to offer assistance to newcomers.
