Shortie I would say that it is definately a north, south divide thing. £4 for the gate key is what we charge. That is the cost now of having a new key cut.[Comment

Our coach driver pays £5 per year but he had to buy the shares in the allotment association as well when he first started. These were issued to raise the funds to buy the land & when you leave the site you sell these to the person who takes over your plot.
We pay £20 all in.Last edited by nick the grief; 18-05-2006, 07:55 PM.ntg

I wonder where the cheapest plot in the country is? I'm in Stevenage, Herts & pay £12 per year & an extra £3 for the allotment society, that includes water & a key. Even better is I've only recently taken it on so paying £5.80 for the part year at the moment. Bargain! Especially as it's cheap entertainment for the kids too, my own 2 & another 3 who now tag along all to grow thier own on their own little area. The downside is I'm running out of space for my choice of veggies!Comment

Well I can beat everyone so far on price ~ £6 about to rise to £8 a year
But (and theres always a but) we have no water,sheds,toilets or fence just some free ranging vandals
who tend to leave broken bottles and run over the pitches.

A ROD was traditionally determined by mrasiromg the right foot of the first 10 men out of church on a Sunday and adding it up.
On Allotments Costs I pay £36 for a full plot but we have mains water, toilets, car park, Trading Hut (Shop), Canteen and Clubhouse with bar and free manure delivered to the car park weekly.My phone has more Processing power than the Computers NASA used to fake the Moon LandingsComment

That's not an allotment, that's Butlins!
We pay £7.50 for a half plot which includes nothing except the plot, a nearby stream to dangle a bucket in and lots of lovely old men who give great advice. Bargain!Comment

Strewth! When I had an allotment about 9 years ago now, I paid £7.00 per year for the plot. The water stand pipe was about 100 yards away and the plot was just a wilderness of nettles and bramble. Cleared some of it, but health was not good so gave it up. No other ameneties whatsoever! Yo have got it made NOG!

Wowee NOG, where are you? I'm having no luck with getting the Henley Association to respond to my questions about how to get a plot. Am starting to think it's a lost cause.Comment
