Allotments

Witham Town Council took over management of the allotments in Cut Throat Lane from Braintree District Council in June 2021 and Wright Grove Allotments in 2024.

​

The allotments consist of two sites and over 100 plots which are regularly maintained and inspected by our Open Spaces team.

​

Having an allotment is good exercise and does wonders for your mental wellbeing as well as providing healthy fruit and vegetables.  However, please bear in mind that, while it is enjoyable, having your own allotment is very time consuming and a year-round commitment. A new plot often requires a lot of hard work to get it ready for planting. Your plot will then require daily watering, weeding and maintenance in the growing season while clearing, digging and preparation will be needed over the autumn and winter period. We ask that you give this serious consideration before thinking of becoming an allotment tenant.

 

If you would like to join our allotment community, we have a waiting list for plots.  If you would like to be added to the list and are a Witham resident, you can contact us in person by visiting Witham Information Centre, by calling our offices on 01376 520627 or by emailing us on openspacesadmin@witham.gov.uk  Alternatively, you can fill in our online form:
