low cost rent
brian.shields the reason that the council have not put up the prices of the plots at greendykes house is because the council do not run the plots.The plots are on council land and it is a community project run by the people who work in the area or live in the community. thinking of a plot and you live in the greater craigmillar area get intouch with brian.shields@edinburgh.gov.uk yes it is only £10:00 per year
the money collected from plot holders goes towards liability insurance
and subscriptions any money left over will be invested to buy seeds
or other materials
hope to hear from you soon

andy mackie says bullshit as the council block manager has the final say on the running of the allotments not!! the plotholders themselves.
