Allotments are significant to our green spaces and provide habitats for many forms of wildlife. </p><p>Allotments have evolved through a rich and varied history of social and economic change, the most notable being the 2nd World War where the public were encouraged to 'Grow their own Greens' and 'Dig for Britain'. The first legislative reforms date back to the Enclosures Act of 1845. </p><p>Today, the Council has a statutory requirement to provide allotments for the public. </p><p>Taking on an allotment plot is not all hard work; it can have many advantages, providing fresh home grown vegetables, fruit and flowers for you and your family, free from artificial additives and at a fraction of that you would have expected to pay in a supermarket or greengrocer. </p><p>There is also the social side, meeting new friends with similar interests and enabling you to enjoy a healthy outdoor life with gentle exercise and a place to relax and unwind. </p><p>&quot; <a href="http://www.odpm.gov.uk/stellent/groups/odpm_urbanpolicy/documents/page/odpm_urbpol_608056.hcsp">Allotments - A Plot Holder's Guide</a> &quot; <span class="gen">link to external website</span> is available on the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister website, which may contain more useful information. </p><p> If you are interested in hiring an allotment, please identify your preferred site and contact the appropriate allotment secretary.
