City allotment rents rise - and will go up annually

Bills detailing the increases agreed in October 2024 by the public health and communities committee, which were less than originally proposed following a huge campaign by plot-holders, have been sent out to tenants in their annual invoices.

Members voted for annual rent for a small plot size of 75 to 149 square metres, the most common type in Bristol, to go up from £50 to £66 without water or £76 with water.
