  allotment societies and their details are:

As there has been considerable interest over the last few years in allotments, there are small waiting lists for each allotment area. However, the Town Council would ask that if you are interested in maintaining an allotment then please still contact one of the people listed above who will be able to advise you on how long you may have to wait. They will also be able to advise you on the rent you can expect to be charged.

If you require any further information about the locations of the areas of allotments then please contact the Clerk to the Council
