Proposed changes to allotment fees
As part of our draft budget for 2023/24, we are proposing to increase most fees and charges by 10% in order to cover the costs of the service being charged for.
However, we understand the pressure of rising costs and recognise some businesses and individuals would find a 10% increase unaffordable.
We are therefore proposing an increase of just 5% to allotment fees, which is below inflation so represents a real-terms cut in prices.
The new fees would take effect from April 2023 and are shown below.
| 2022/23 fee | Proposed 2023/24 fee | Proposed increase | |
| Allotments (full plot) | £88.95 | £93.40 | 5% |
| Allotments (half plot) | £44.65 | £46.88 | 5% |
| Allotments (one third plot) | £29.70 | £31.19 | 5% |
This consultation asked for your views on the proposals. It closed on Monday 9 January. All feedback will be taken into account when councillors meet to agree the budget in February.
