From 2007 Parish Allotments have come under the care and ownership of this Parish.
The Parish Council are seeking to set up Allotment Care Committees for the three sites to deal with the day to day issues of each allotment area. The Parish Council via its Clerk will provide financial and legal responsibility. We will also set up a landscape contractor to deal with annual maintenance and running repairs.
Allotment plot holders will need to set up a committee composed of a number of its members. A small number of meetings will be held each year to keep plot holder up to date. The Parish Council will use these meetings to discuss plot fees and other issues. We will use this web site, and this page and our Parish Newsletter iNFACT to keep residents appraised of all allotment matters.
PARISH ALLOTMENTS 2010
KENTS HILL ALLOTMENTS ARE...Off Frithwood Crescent near to the playing fields.
This is a fully operational and mature site. The waiting list is currently 57.
Water drainage has been a problem in the past as water from the hard standing car park area flowed across the allotment. This has now been fixed by the installation of a french drain across the allotment/car park interface.
MONKSTON ALLOTMENTS ARE ....At the end of Balmerino Close, at the eastern end of the estate near to the V11 grid road and Monkston Roundabout.
Work was started in mid October 2010
By January 2011 the legal process to transfer the ownership to the Parish Council is progressing however the developers are having great difficulty in getting this simple project finished.
There is to be mixed size plots up to about 60 in number. Anglia Water have completed the water supply to site.
By December 2011 we are close to completion, but don't order the shed and spade just yet!
