March Town Council are responsible for the administration of allotments at various sites within the town.
Plots are of varying size and are located at:
WEST END (YARDY)
GRANDFORD
ROBINGOODFELLOWS LANE
WIMBLINGTON ROAD
RUSSELL AVE/PEYTON AVE
Current demand is high and there are over 55 names on the waiting list. Plots may become available when a tenant decides to give up their tenancy, or when the rules of the tenancy have not been met and the Town Council terminates the tenancy. The plot is then offered to the next person on the waiting list.
Plots vary in size and rents are paid in advance annually. If you are interested in an allotment please contact us: 01354 653709 or admin@marchtowncouncil.gov.uk.
Allotments are overseen and inspected by Councillors regularly. Decisions will be made and tenancies terminated if an allotment is not being cultivated or in poor condition.
Please note: our allotments are purely for the use of persons residing within the parish of March and tenant who moves away from the parish of March will relinquish tenancy immediately.
There are the current rules and regulations when taking on a tenancy agreement;
