Lodge Road, Locks Heath

We have 28 plots at this site. Plots are let by "the rod" and a typical 5 rod plot equates to 110 square metres. The annual rent (except for Posbrook Lane) is £10 per rod, plus £5 membership of the association, payable annually on the 1 October. A 5 rod plot will cost £50 per annum, plus the membership fee. Site Managers will issue an annual Rent Renewal Notice with instructions on how to pay.

Lodge Road allotments are situated to the west of Fareham at Locks Heath and can be accessed via the A27 Southampton Road and Hunts Pond Road.

About our Lodge Road Site

Toilets – We currently do not have a toilet at this site.

Parking – There is no on-site parking, but on street parking is available in Lodge Road.

Manure and Chippings – At some of our sites there are chippings and manure bins which are regularly topped up and free to use for tenants of those sites.

Equipment – A Motor Mowers is available to help you keep the paths around your allotment cut.

Buildings – In accordance with the Tenancy Agreement, Plot Holders have a choice of erecting a poly tunnel or a greenhouse on their plot. In addition, they can erect a fruit cage and a shed. This must be within the 20% cultivated area of their plot and subject to agreement of the installation with the Site Manager.

Chickens and Bees – No chickens or bees currently on this site.

Use of Water – Mains water is available to plot holders from standpipes situated across each site but, because water is an expensive resource, plot holders are encouraged to capture rainwater in water butts. When possible, plot holders are asked to water plants from a watering can. It is accepted that elderly or infirm plot holders may physically not be able to wield a heavy watering can. In such circumstances, spot watering with hoses is permitted provided the water is targeted at roots of plant. Spraying devices are not permitted in any circumstances.

Water Conservation – Sarisbury site managers are experimenting with the installation of IBC tanks each holding 1000 litres of rainwater collected on building roofs. Further IBC tanks will be purchased and rolled out if the experimental project proves successful.
