11. Allotment consultation outcome
This report is to update allotment holders on the outcome of the recent consultation.
The Public and Green Spaces (PGS) service carried out a consultation with allotment lease holders between 26 January 2024 and 15 March 2024 on proposed uplifts to fees and charges. The objective of this was to identify any avenues available to reduce allotment costs or increase income and support the service in becoming cost neutral.
Having received feedback from Associations, the consultation period was extended to meet the full consultation charter period, and to allow more time for allotment holders to provide formative feedback. FAQs including a full financial breakdown of budgets were also provided to support allotment holders in making formative suggestions.
Having received and reviewed the feedback provided, this report summarises the results and any subsequent opportunities identified to achieve a cost neutral service.
