Our allotment sites and rent charges
The Allotments Association runs five sites on behalf of the City of Ely Council. We do not administer the site at Deacons Lane, Ely nor do we have a firm date when the new allotment sites to be constructed in the North Ely housing development will be opened.
The existing sites where plots become available are shown below. Click on the images for details.
Details of rent charges for allotment plots are on this page below the site summaries.
The Tenancy Agreement defines the terms of rental and occupation of an allotment plot.
