Who runs the allotments

The allotments are managed by Bathford Parish Council who are responsible for the site. Presently, the day to day running of the site is run by volunteers supported by the Parish Council Clerk and the Amenities Committee.

We do not have a formed Allotment Association as we are a small site.

This is a shared management arrangement, more details can be found on the National Allotments Society page on self-managed allotments.
