Allotments

Allotments for the Community

One of the responsibilities of a Parish Council is the provision of allotments to local residents where need is identified and Cliffe and Cliffe Woods Parish Council have provided two allotment sites.  One is an area next to the Recreation Ground and behind the Children’s Play Area in Cliffe and our newer one recently opened is behind the Redrow development in Cliffe Woods, accessed from Buckland Road. The popularity of allotments has risen and fallen over the years and is currently again very popular. 

Renting an allotment is a great way to experience the ‘good life’ and when we visit them we are always amazed at the plethora of vegetables and fruit that is grown.  How gratifying that must be to sit down at your own table eating the vegetables you have nurtured and picked yourself.  We do know it is hard work and, at times, back breaking, the tenants have our utmost respect for the amount of effort they put into their plots.

If you think you might be interested then please contact the Parish Council Clerk for more information.  We can always arrange for you to visit the allotments to have a look around.
