Dear Farida Vis and Yana Manyukhina

Your request for information has now been considered and the information
is set out below.

1. Please could you send us the Tenancy Agreement that the Council

currently uses for allotment plots in the Council?

This council does not have individual tenancy agreements, all our
allotments are leased to several different societies, each society rents
out the plots to their various members.

2. Please could you send us the previous Tenancy Agreement for

allotment plots in the Council?

3. Was the agreement changed following a public consultation?

4. Please could you send us the documentation associated with this

consultation that highlights the change in Tenancy Agreement for

allotment plots in the Council?

5. Is the Council planning to chance the current Tenancy Agreement

for allotment plots in the Council within the next 12 months?

Questions 2 to 5 cannot be answered as per question 1 above.

6. Can you please send us the cost of an allotment within your

Council for the years: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and what they will be

for 2012 and 2013.

The cost of individual plots are decided by the different societies and
would be dependent on the facilities found at each individual site.

Cost go up in line with the percentage increase of the council tax.

7. Can you please send us the cost of using water as charged to

individual plot holders within your Council for the years: 2008,

Again these are paid by the societies and the cost passed onto and shared
by individual members of each society.

8. Can you please send us the rate of the discount available for

renting an allotment plot within your Council for the years: 2008,

2009, 2010, 2011 and what they will be for 2012 and 2013.

The council does adjust the rent charged to societies giving a discount
for OAP's

9. What has the cost of waste removal been to the Council in

relation to allotment sites for the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011

and what are they likely be for 2012 and 2013.

Societies compost most of their waste.
