Read Allotments are situated on the south side of Whalley Road adjacent to the Recreation Ground. They are available for the use of both Read and Simonstone residents and the current annual rent is dependent on plot size (a number of allotments have been divided into smaller, more manageable plots), which can be requested from the allotment management. There is a £100 refundable bond, repayable on termination of tenancy subject to the plot being left in a satisfactory condition.
All our allotments are currently taken but should you wish to be included on the waiting list or have any other questions please contact Cllr Steve Neary, Allotment Manager (neary7pe@btinternet.com).
It is a condition of tenancy that allotments should be maintained in a tidy state of cultivation. The only permitted livestock are hens, rabbits and pigeons, which must be kept in suitable accommodation.
