Plot rents are currently 26p/sq.m. and there is a membership fee of £5.00 on joining the Association. All plots are presently allocated but the Association operates a waiting list.
Members of the Association are committed to organic methods of cultivation, as far as is reasonably practicable. Whilst no buildings are permitted on the plots there is a shed on site which is available as a tool store for all plot holders. A mains water supply has been provided. Rabbit-proof fencing has been erected and the boundary hedges are now well established. The Association is affiliated to the National Society of Allotment & Leisure Gardeners Ltd which operates a seed purchasing scheme at discounted prices.
The allotments were established in 2009 with funding provided by the Sedbergh & District Community Fund, Cumbria County Council’s Neighbourhood Forum, Sedbergh Parish Council and the Friends of the Lake District.
Should you have any enquiries regarding the Birks Lane site or wish to be included on the Association’s waiting list, please contact the Secretary, Ann Parratt (tel. 015396 20964) or the Chairman, Jim Atkins (tel. 015396 20031)
