Melksham Services - Allotments

The Town Council administers some 125 allotment plots spread around 8 different locations within the area. Demand for plots has grown nationwide over the last few years and Melksham is no exception to this trend. At the moment the Council has about 50 applicants on its waiting list although a number of plots have become available in the Spring of 2009 so the list is expected to fall.

The plots vary in size and quality. New tenants sign an agreement to maintain and cultivate their plot, paying a current annual fee of £20.00 for a full size plot and £10.00 for a half plot.

The task of maintaining a plot is not to be taken lightly, demanding time, energy and commitment. The rewards, however, are the satisfaction of growing your own fresh fruit, flowers and vegetables, meeting other fellow enthusiasts, and enjoying the sweet Wiltshire air!
