Each allotment site's page shows the location of the site and lists any plots which are currently available. We do not have waiting lists and we are not able to contact individuals when plots become available.
If you are interested in renting an allotment plot, we advise viewing the available plots as they are 'sold as seen'. Use the downloadable site plan on each site’s page to locate vacant plots.
Once you have found your preferred plot, please contact us with the details: email allotments@north-herts.gov.uk or call 01462 474000.
