Allotments are growing in North Tyneside at a faster rate than anywhere else in the country.
Over the past decade North Tyneside Council has created 222 new plots, the highest percentage increase of any local authority area in the UK.
The latest addition is 70 newly-created plots developed in North Shields, Howdon and Wallsend, taking the borough’s allotment stock to 1,954.
“The bigger plots are going up in price, but it’s still not too expensive and tenants can pay that through a 12 month direct debit.”
