With the increasing popularity of grow your own produce it is worth a reminder that there is still plenty of space for new allotments at the three Oakridge sites of Oakridge Lynch (adjacent to the Recreation Ground), Far Oakridge and Waterlane.
There are currently 29 tenanted, some on a shared basis. A full size allotment is roughly 250 sq yards which may seem daunting at first glance. Why not start with a half allotment to see how you go?
The rental payable at the beginning of April each year is £5 for Oakridge Lynch which has access to mains water, and £3 for Far Oakridge and Waterlane, which do not.
