Information about Allotments within Northumberland County

 

Allotments

 

Allotments and community gardens are valuable green spaces and community assets that can help improve people's quality of life by promoting healthy food, exercise and community interaction.

We recognise the unique role of allotments as places which bring all sections of the community together. They provide opportunities for people to grow their own produce as part of the long term promotion of sustainability and healthy living.

Public interest in allotments has undergone a recent revival in line with current thinking on healthy eating, organic food and exercise.  This has created a greater demand for allotments in some areas, which is critical to protecting them from a change of use in the future as a consequence of disuse or dereliction.

How To Apply For An Allotment

If you would like to apply for an allotment or register an allotment partnership, please contact the Parish or Town Clerk in the area where the allotment is located. 

You can view the parish/town council clerk details here.
