Applications for an Allotment plot

This Association does not manage the process of allotment allocation nor the collection of rental payments. However we work very closely with our landlord, Gloucester City Council (GCC), to ensure that the procedure is as smooth as possible.

There is currently a significant waiting list and to manage this high demand, any half plots that do become available are now divided into quarter (63 square metre) areas and charged pro-rata. It is unlikely that half or full plots will be available for new tenants in the foreseeable future.
Some plots may appear to be vacant but are either in the process of rejuvenation by the Association or there may be mitigating circumstances agreed with Gloucester Council (such as illness) meaning the plot holder is temporarily unable to work their plot.

So if you have decided that allotmenting at Saintbridge is for you, then please contact the Gloucester City Council Environment, Waste & Recycling, Allotments department requesting that your name be added to the Saintbridge Waiting List. Their contact details are:

Email: heretohelp@gloucester.gov.uk Telephone: 01452 396396

Be sure to leave your name, address, email and telephone/mobile number and you will be contacted to arrange a site visit for plot selection once you reach the top of the waiting list which may take up to a year.

How much does it cost

The following outlines the general costs and concession rates (at November 2022):

Please note that there is a charge of £20 to set up a new tenancy. This is a one-off fee and you will be billed with your first invoice.

The allotment tenancy year runs from 1 November to 31 October.
