Plot Details

We have varying sizes of allotments, some full size plots and some half size plots to suit all prospective plot-holders.

Prices are per square meter and therefore vary based on the size of the plot (average charge being approximately £30 per annum for a full size plot). Reduced charges are available if in receipt of retirement pension or jobseekers allowance (evidence will need to be provided) or if taking on an overgrown plot.

All sites (with the exception of Chester Road and Railway Bridge) have an elected representative to attend meetings with Council Officers and to liaise on site issues.

All sites have a water supply.

We hold an annual competition for anyone wishing to enter with categories for the best allotments on each site, overall winner and potato cup. A presentation evening takes place to award certificates and prizes.

Waiting Lists

Waiting lists are operated on a ‘first come first served’ basis for residents of the Wyre Forest district. Whilst applicants are welcome to join waiting lists for more than one site, they should be aware that due to the high demand for allotments, refusal of an offered plot at a site for which the applicant has listed on an application will result in the applicant being returned to the bottom of all waiting lists.

To find out about available plots and current length of waiting lists for each site, phone Alan Breen on 01562 732993.
