Allotments
The Council manages 227 allotment plots on three sites in Chesham: Amersham Road (6 plots), Cameron Road (176 plots) and Asheridge Road (45 plots). Standard plots are 5 or 10 poles in size. Find out more about the sites.
Rental costs per pole as of 1st October 2007 are:
Amersham Road £3.00
Cameron Road £2.50
Asheridge Road £3.00
A 50% rent rebate can be claimed by any tenant aged 60+. Rent is payable annually by cash or cheque (made payable to Chesham Town Council).
Our allotment sites are fully tenanted. Due to overwhelming popularity, the waiting lists for all 3 sites are currently closed. If you would like to check when the lists will be re-opened, or find out more about our allotments, please contact the Town Hall by email: admin@chesham.gov.uk or on 01494 774842 or in person (Monday to Friday 10 am to 4.30pm).
You may also wish to consider the privately run allotments in Chesham: the Duke of Bedford Allotments on Bois Moor Road for Waterside residents only, and the George Piggin Allotments on Wey Lane.
Allotments Group
The Allotments Group works with the Council to maintain the sites and are also happy to offer advice to tenants. Prizes are awarded annually at the group's AGM for the Best Kept Allotment and for the Best Scarecrow. An Allotments Open Day is held at the Cameron Road site each August to enable the public to find out what goes on at the allotments. The group has its own website with News, Events, an archive of The Grower newsletter: http://www.cheshamallotments.org.uk
The allotments are a regular contributor to Chesham in Bloom.
