Taking the first step....

Well we have been enquiring about allotments with our local council and are just being sent the tennancy agreement in the post today.

Is there anything I should look for (i.e. to double check) in the tennancy agreement and do you have any tips for a lottie newbie?

Thanks peeps!

They are pretty standard generally, might have stuff about getting permission to put up a shed or plant trees etc. Each of them are different though and if you have an allotment rep then they will be the best person to ask.

Just a little tip, check for security before you leave your things there. Ask about, ask neighbouring plotholders. Do the usual soil tests and see if there is a notice board or trade hut(both essential)
