Welcome to Cross Lane Allotments. We are a small friendly site of 25 plots of various sizes and styles, ranging from raised beds to more traditional and everything inbetween. All plots are kept to a standard as set out in the tenancy agreement.
The site is run by a site rep and supported by 4 committee members all of which are on hand if any help is needed or issues arise. The site rep is also part of the C&DHS and executive committee.
We have just built a new communal area which includes a wildlife garden and pond, herb garden, shed with communal mower and book swap area, bbq area, all weather pergola, tables and seating and a separate area specifically designed and built for our local nursery school to come and grow their own and learn all about where food comes from.
Now we have this new communal space we will be looking to hold BBQ's, quiz nights and general socialising and support.
Also on site is parking for 8 -10 vehicle's, 4 water points which are accessible from 1st April to 31st October each year. We will also be trialling an on site portal loo for the season.
Applications to apply for a plot are welcome, however being a small site it can be a long wait, but you are welcome to apply to as many sites as you wish at any one time.
For all tenants and applicants or just anyone interested in wanting to know what it's like to have an Allotment Garden we offer a Welome Pack which gives guidance on what is involved, time and commitment needed, highs and lows and the Allotment Year by season.
