The paths on your allotment must be kept clear and tidy with grass mown and weed free.

It is your responsibility as tenant to cut grass paths and verges to the right hand side of your plot, as you look from the road way, and at either end of the plot.

Paths can be made of paving slabs and bark chippings which you’ll find at the top and bottom gates. The chippings will need replacing every year or two.

Do make use of the spent chippings it makes a great addition to your compost bin – did you know it’s one of the ingredients in Peat Free compost.)

Paths must be kept clear of obstructions at all times.

This includes No overhanging branches, building materials or structures.
Under no circumstances may boundary pegs be removed by tenants (you should be aware that plot sizes will be checked periodically).
All paths between plots should be maintained to a minimum of 0.75m wide (29”), for easy pedestrian access to tenants’ plots.

If a full plot is divided into two half plots, the Allotments Officer or Field Committee is responsible for marking the boundary between the two halves with a path of 0.75m (29”) (as a minimum) and a minimum of two identifying posts.

You should not remove any part of any path. If any path has been altered / removed you will be required to reinstate it.

You must not encroach (trespass) onto neighbouring plots via any paths unless permission has been granted by the plot holder.

If you have any queries about your paths or plot boundaries, please contact the Allotments Officer (Fran or Clive or send an email to westonfavellallotments@gmail.com ) who will be happy to advise you.
