The allotments at Kirk Hill & Prinny Hill are currently fully occupied. The waiting list has reached the maximum, and therefore, Rossendale Borough Council is not currently taking anymore applications. When availaiblity on the allotment waiting list opens, this page will be updated.
Rents vary depending on the size of the plot and the annual cost is £0.39 per m2.
Please be aware that the waiting list is long at present and is maintained on a first come, first allocated basis for each site. All new tenants are required to sign a tenancy agreement. Tenants are not permitted to underlet, assign or part with the possession of the allotment garden.
