Allotments

Allotment holders that are self-isolating MUST NOT visit the Allotment sites for any reason

It is important that anyone attending the allotment takes care to stay the appropriate distance from others, avoid body contact and wash hands at taps, do not wash hands or use detergents in the water tanks and please pay attention to notice boards

It is essential that no un-authorised people are allowed onto the plots for the duration of this emergency, if you do wish to bring someone to assist with work on the plot, please ensure that that this is notified to the Town Council.  Careful consideration should be given to introducing anyone over 70, those with underlying illness or pregnant women.

Members should take the following precautionary measures :

• Keep hand sanitiser in your shed and wash your hands regularly
• Use hand sanitiser before opening and closing any gate locks
• DO NOT gather together for a chat even if you are 2 metres apart CLICK HERE for guidance
• Observe “Social Distancing” with each other 2-3 metres
• If you take your children to the plot, ensure that they stay within its confines and do not run around on communal paths and spaces.
• Do not share tools
• Minimise the contact with each other for example no handshakes
• Do not wash your hands in water troughs

Until further notice the Town Council will not be carrying out any routine maintenance at the allotments - this includes grass cutting.  Please only contact us if emergency repairs are required or if the security of the allotments is compromised.
