Welcome to HCWAA
The
Hampton Court Way Allotment Association manages a leased site which is
dedicated for the use of allotment gardeners in the locality. This site
is conveniently located just south of Hampton Court Bridge, which crosses
the River Thames adjacent to the famous Royal Palace.
The site is divided into about 90 separate plots, ranging in size from
100 to 250 sq. metres. (If you still use the "old" units, 250
sq. m. is about 10 rods). Tenants pay rents which fund the management
of the site, and pay the annual lease charges.
A small management committee, elected at the Annual General Meeting, is
responsible for the administration of the site. Most of the regular maintenance
work is carried out by the tenants themselves, on a self-help basis, coordinated
by the committee. A proportion of the rental income is used to fund any
major works which require outside contractors.
