What is the Witney Allotment Association?

On Monday, 16th September 2024, the members of the Witney Allotment Association voted in favour of forming two separate Committees (each with its own Chair and Secretary): One Committee of Management for Lakeside Allotments and one Committee of Management for the Allotments at Hailey Road, Newland and Windrush Place combined.

As from 1st January 2025, the Association will therefore be divided (subject to members’ approval at the AGM*) as: Witney Allotment Association – South  (being the members for Lakeside) and Witney Allotment Association – North (being the members Hailey Road, Newland and Windrush Place) and each Association will elect its own Committee and approve its Constitution and Rules as soon as possible in 2025.

The two Associations will continue to use a single website (www.witneyallotments.co.uk) and operate a single waiting list.

*Notice of the AGM will be issued on the website and notified to the Committee as soon as arrangements have been made.

PLOT AVAILABILITY

THERE ARE NO PLOTS AVAILABLE ON ANY SITES IN WITNEY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

We have been overwhelmed with requests for plots and the waiting list for any site is very long.

DISCOUNT CARD ALERT!

Freeland Nurseries have now very kindly agreed to accept our discount cards and to provide 10% discount on plants only  from 1st May. Please let them know at the till before your items go through that you will be using the card and claiming the discount on the plants. It can get very confusing and difficult otherwise!

Charlbury, Yarnton and Cassington remain happy to do so too. We’ll keep you posted if the situation changes.

Newland

Newland is the smallest of the sites managed by the Witney Allotment Association. The site lies just north of Newland Road between Kingsfield Crescent.

Hailey Road

This site has a slightly irregular boundary giving rise to some variation in plot sizes. The site lies between Farmers Close and Eastfield Road.

Lakeside

Lakeside is the largest of the three sites. All standard sized gardens have their own parking space – though this is shared between two small gardens.

Windrush Place

Windrush Place is Witney’s newest Allotment Site, situated at the Eastern entrance to the new Windrush Place housing development.
