Allotments
East Devon District Council only administers allotments in Sidmouth.
There are 3 seperate sites in the town:-
- Lawn Vista bordering the Byes.
- Lymebourne bordering the Byes between Sid Park Road and Lymebourne Lane.
- Peaslands between the new Villa Bohemia development and the cemetery.
These allotments are non-statutory, or temporary, and are not covered by the Allotments Acts 1908 - 1950.
Each plot has been measured and for 2009/2010 will be charged at £6.00 per 25 square metres plus £10.00 for water. Charges for 2010/2011 will be £6.30 per 25 square metres plus £5.00 for water.
The average size for a plot is approximately 158 square metres, which would mean a charge in 2009/2010 of £37.92 plus £10 for water, and in 2010/2011 the charge would be £39.82 plus £5 for water.
At present there is at least a 4 year wait for a Plot .
