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 126.5 m2 or 253 m2 (known as 5 or 10 pole plots, respectively) in size. Find out more about the sites.
Our allotment sites are fully tenanted, but you can join our waiting list.
Rental costs per 25.3 m2 (per pole) as of 1st October 2009 are:
Amersham Road £3.25
Cameron Road £2.75
Asheridge Road £3.25
A 30% rebate of the standard rate may be claimed by any tenant (upon proof of age or circumstances) if her or she:
- has reached the age of 60 in the financial year for which rent is due
- is on income support
- is claiming job-seeker's allowance
- is claiming disability allowance
- is a full-time student
- is under 16 years old
Rent is payable annually by cash or cheque (made payable to Chesham Town Council).
