To consider the revised Allotment Tenancy Agreement, which would come into operation from 1 February 2019.

Decision

That the new Allotment Tenancy Agreement be approved and that this comes into effect on 1 February 2019, with minor tweaks delegated to officers prior to implementation.

None.

Before a prospective allotment tenant could take responsibility for an allotment plot, they must complete and return two copies of a signed and witnessed allotment agreement. The current agreement explained, in detail, the rules and regulations which operated on all allotment sites and also acted as a guide as to what tenants could and could not do.

The current allotment agreement had been in place since 2012 and whilst large proportions of the agreement were still valid and required no modification, some parts required updating and other areas required strengthening in order to assist enforcement.

The revised Allotment Tenancy Agreement, as proposed, was appended to the report.

A number of minor tweaks were suggested to some of the sections within the agreement documentation itself, which officers agreed to take into account.
