A significant service facilitated by Hailsham Town Council is the provision of allotments. At present, the Council manages 74 plots on two sites in Hailsham: Battle Road (60 plots) and the Common Pond area (14 plots). Standard plots are 3 or 5 rods in size.

 

Rental costs per rod are: £12.00 per annum (3 rod size) and £20.00 per annum (5 rod size). A £50 deposit is requested for newly registering plotholders, which will be refunded at the time of cessation of allotment tenancy (provided the plot is left in a satisfactory and rentable condition).

 

For further information, please call 01323 841702 or email for details.
