Allotments

Allotments remain open and accessible to allotment holders, however if you tend your plot please follow the government's social distancing guidelines.

For allotment holders who are currently self-isolating and cannot tend their plot, can you please make your site secretary aware of this.

For those interested in applying for an allotment plot, providing proof of ID in person is not required for the period to the end of September 2021, however this will be required retrospectively.

There are 40 allotment sites across Wirral. You can view a list of allotment locations in Wirral. If you want to know more, contact details and information is provided on the allotment site's noticeboard.

Applying

Recently we have received an extremely high demand for allotments. After consultation with site secretaries, we have decided to restrict the total number of applications for certain sites to 100 per site.

This is to minimise the disappointment of not being able to obtain a plot and being on the waiting list for a number of years.

As a result of the new restriction, the waiting lists for the following sites are full and we are no longer accepting applications:

• Belvidere Road
• Earlston
• Manor Drive

Costs

The cost for renting an allotment is £74 per year for a full plot and £40 for a half plot, running from 1 October to 30 September.
