All sites managed by Harborough District Council operate a reduced rate of 50% for those aged 65 and over.

To enable more availability of plots we have a policy of reducing the size of larger plots as and when they become available. This means that the number of plots at any one site may increase allowing more people to experience the benefits of the allotment.

If you no longer want your allotment site please let us know by emailing EnvironmentalServices@harborough.gov.uk.
