Colchester Avenue Allotments
Our site is south facing with soil which has been worked as allotments for over 80 years. It is secured by fences all round our perimeter. We have a shop which is usually open around midday when the weather is fine. The shop sells organic and chemical fertilisers, composts, runner bean poles and seed potatoes & onion sets in season. We have equipment for loan: a heavy duty strimmer & loppers for keeping grass and brambles under control; and a rotovator. Safety gear is provided as is the fuel.
The Association holds an annual General Meeting which elects a committee which is responsible for the day-to-day running of the site. Plotholders are encouraged to help out with the monthly work parties.

In recent years, we have been able to obtain grants to:
- form a new vehicle entrance to replace the one which was proving.
too narrow for delivery vehicles.
- re-surface the most corroded roadways on our site.
- provide a site toilet - the first composting toilet on a Cardiff Council site.
- increase the number of water points.
- clear derelict plots for letting.
In future years, we plan to complete the resurfacing of the roadways; complete the clearing of overgrown plots and continue to expand the number of water points.
