Health and Safety
Cultivating an allotment is a physical activity using a variety of tools.
To help make the allotment site as safe and free from hazards as possible, allotment plot holders can report any accidents or incidents using the
Kingsley Allotments – Accident Report Form
These forms can be forwarded to the allotments Secretary and will be reviewed by the Committee to identify remedial actions to be taken.

Principles
We have plots in different areas designated as ‘organic’, ‘as organic as possible’ or ‘non-organic’.
Plots & Rent
There are full and half plots available. Rent are reviewed at the AGM every year and kept as low as possible. Rent payment is due in December for the following year.
Security
Padlocks should not be removed from the gates. The code will be changed in January each year. Gates should be shut and padlocks secured on leaving the plots.
Also, please shut the gate behind you when leaving or enter the site (to keep rabbits out!)
Water
Water is metered and costs are included in the annual rent.
Water leaks or damaged taps should be notified to one of the Committee members immediately.
The water supply will be switched off between 1 October and 31 March.
Hoses may be used with hand held sprinkler attachments but must not be left on unattended.
Trees
Written consent from the Association Committee must be obtained to plant fruit trees/bushes that need more than 12 months to mature.
Sheds & Greenhouses
Written consent from the Association must be obtained to erect a shed which is up to 1.8m x 1.2m x 1.95m high.
Temporary toolboxes, cold frames and compost bins which are lower than 1.2m can be placed without consent.
Sheds should be placed on the southern edge of a plot (i.e. the entrance side) and should not shade a neighbours plot.
Notices
Any news will be posted on the notice board placed at the entrance to the site or sent to members by e-mail.
