Allotment holders fight back against 400% rent increase - South Leeds Life
The Council is planning to increase rents at Old Lane from £38 to £160 a year, a rise of 400%.
It might be that many more councils will seek increases in rents as their budgets are cut.
This site has info about an important case
Allotment Rent Rise Victory
And lots more here from JohnMac

The council could look at ways of reducing costs - do they employ a full time allotment manager? Are water bills paid by the council or plot holders?
Is self-management the answer? (Did our council do a cost implication assessment on going self-managed and decide it was in the council's financial interest?)
