ALLOTMENT NOTICES Latest Allotments Update at 26th September 2007 The Allotment Management Committee is preparing a Welcome pack for new allotment holders. Further details will be published when confirmed. In the mean time, follow the Welcome pack's development through the Committee Minutes at 'Current Minutes' and the archives. For the moment the approved chairman's opening letter. BERKHAMSTED’S ALLOTMENTS In Berkhamsted we have three statutory allotment sites comprising a total of some 375 plots, each site being independent but with the plot holders working together to ensure the sites are well-ordered and run very much as they wish. Overall responsibility is that of the Town Council, in particular, the Allotment Management Team comprising councillors, and representatives of each site. In this way the Council is committed to fulfilling its duty as a responsible Allotment Authority. As well, the law puts an onus on allotment holders to pay a rent and to abide by the rules and guidelines of the authority and to maintain their plot properly. This pack contains all the information you will need to enjoy fully the benefits of allotment gardening. Read it carefully, stick to the rules and have fun. Malcolm Allen
On 30th January 2006 Full Council approved and adopted a new Allotment Management Team constitution. The constitution states that the AMT will meet in the Council Chamber two weeks before the date of each meeting of the full Town Council. It also states that meetings will be open to the public and that the agenda will be published on Town Council notice boards in advance of the meeting. All meetings will be held at 2.30pm in the Council Chamber.
The Agenda for each meeting will
be published on the THE TRADITION OF ALLOTMENTS There are
many reasons why people rent an allotment: Why don't you consider an allotment? The Town Council has
25 acres of allotment land SUNNYSIDE—Ivy House Lane and Netherfield Road DELLFIELD—Billet Lane BUTTS MEADOW—King's Road and Chesham Road All sites are equipped
with mains water pressure. RENT? Very low!
