Allotment Gardens  

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: £10.50 per annum (3 rod size) and £17.50 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).

Why have an allotment?


Health: Benefits achieved through exercise, fresh air and of course, a better diet of fruit and vegetables!


Environment: Benefits achieved through the use of fewer (if any!) chemicals, the composting of green waste and the recycling of materials.


Community: Benefits achieved through social contact from sharing plants, tools, produce, and knowledge!
