With an allotment comes fresh air, home-grown produce, a healthy lifestyle and a social community of people with similar interests. There are 16 allotment sites across the borough.
All our allotment sites have waiting lists. You can go on up to three waiting lists of your choice, but you are only entitled to one plot.
Once added to the waiting lists of your choice it is essential that you keep us updated with your current contact details.
When offered an allotment if we do not have a response to the offer within 10 days applicants will be removed from all waiting lists.
- Applicants must be residents of St Helens Borough Council
- Applicants must be 18 or over
