Allotments

Downton Parish Council’s Allotments are  located  in Wick Lane, Downton.  They are managed by the Downton Allotment and Leisure Gardeners Association (DALGA).

There are also some allotments at the rear of the Catholic Church in Barford Lane.  These are on private land and are managed by the Catholic Church.

The Parish map shows where the allotments are located.

Downton Allotment and Leisure Gardeners Association

Our allotments are situated down Wick Lane, opposite the Leisure Centre.

DALGA has a sublease for the allotments from Downton Parish Council. The DALGA committee look after the letting and  management of the allotments and so should be contacted in the first instance.

Please contact Chris Hall, if you wish to go onto the waiting list, on 01725 511877 or cbwhall@outlook.com

DALGA holds an annual AGM, and regular committee meetings. The committee arranges the occasional social gathering and has planted fruit trees in the communal orchard area and hedging plants alongside the adjoining field for wildlife and a wind break. A seed scheme is in operation where allotment holders get a good discount on seeds and plants from a supplier, and DALGA gets a further discount which goes towards site maintenance.
