THIS week is National Allotments Week, celebrating all that's great about growing your own produce.

In Newport, the City Council is responsibly for overseeing pricing, eligibility for discounts, billing, cancellation of tenancy, and repairs. Discounts are extended to senior citizens and individuals with a disability badge.

Demand is always high for allotment space, so we've detailed all the places in Newport where you can get your spades in the ground, as well as how to apply and how much it costs.

Obtaining an allotment is a straight-forward process. Simply reach out to the designated site secretary to inquire about availability and the application process.
