Allotments have evolved through a rich and varied history of
social and economic change, the most notable being the 2nd World
War where the public were encouraged to 'Grow their own
Greens'
The first legislative reforms date back to the Enclosures Act
of 1845.
Today, the Council has a statutory requirement to provide
allotments for the public.
The administration of allotments falls within the remit of the
Parish/ Town Councils that serve your chosen area.
