Cliffe Allotments

Allotments for the Community

One of the responsibilities of a Parish Council is the provision of allotments to local residents where need is identified and Cliffe and Cliffe Woods Parish Council have provided an area next to the Recreation Ground and behind the Children’s Play Area in Cliffe.  The popularity of allotments has risen and fallen over the years and is currently again very popular. 

Some of the plots differ in size to others by quite a substantial amount, so the plots were measured and rental charge is based on size; this seems to be a much fairer way to do this. The average cost for a plot is only around £1 per week, so excellent value and our site remains one of the cheapest in the Medway area!

Renting an allotment is a great way to experience the ‘good life’ and when we visit them we are always amazed at the plethora of vegetables and fruit that is grown.  How gratifying that must be to sit down at your own table eating the vegetables you have nurtured and picked yourself.  We do know it is hard work and, at times, back breaking, the tenants have our utmost respect for the amount of effort they put into their plots.

If you think you might be interested then please contact the Parish Council Clerk for more information.  We can always arrange for you to visit the allotments to have a look around.

We hope to soon be able to offer allotments in Cliffe Woods to the rear of the Oakleigh Fields housing development.  Please contact us if you would like your name added to the waiting list.
