We have 30 allotments in New Earswick at
2 sites - Willow Bank and Sleeper Path.
The rent for a site is currently £11.25 a year. A register is
available for anyone interested in working an allotment. Contact us
here if you would like to be put on the register. The rent is
reviewed each year by the Estate Maintenance sub group of
New Easrwick
Management Committee
Plots are allocated by date order. Priority is given to New
Earswick residents, however to ensure that plots are worked
consideration will be given to people outside of the village.
There is also a recycling area next to the Sleeper Path allotments
that can be used for the disposal of garden waste. You can also buy
locally produced compost made from the garden waste and household
waste that is collected from some houses by the New Earswick
Composting Project. The opening times of the recycling area are
printed on the gate.
Allotment holders should maintain their plot in a weed
free/controlled state and cultivated.You should not sub let your
plot or dump waste in areas other than the recycling area.
Plots are viewed every quarter by our staff to ensure they are
being worked. If a plot has not been worked for 3 months a warning
letter will be sent to the plot holder. If there is no improvement
after a further month we will write and tell you that we may
terminate your tenancy.
