Millfield Allotments Association and Faversham Town Council have agreed upon permitted times for bonfires throughout the year Looking to have a bonfire? Bonfires are a great way for allotment holders to dispose of garden waste, however it is essential to do so responsibly. To ensure that bonfires are managed safely and appropriately, rules are enforced. Millfield Allotments Association and Faversham Town Council have agreed upon permitted times for bonfires throughout the year, as follows: From October to March, bonfires are permissible from 1 p.m. From April to September, bonfires can be lit from 3 p.m. The Millfield Allotments Association requires that all bonfires are kept small and contained. Bonfires should be contained within incinerators where possible or within the designated area on the site. Additionally, no bonfires may be lit if the wind is blowing westerly towards the housing along Cheney Road. If the wind should change direction at any time we would ask plot holders to extinguish the bonfire. All bonfires must be well supervised and extinguished before leaving the allotment, and should not be allowed to burn overnight. Bonfires should not be left unattended and accelerants are not permitted to be used to start or maintain bonfires. Please ensure that all bonfires are fully extinguished and all ashes properly disposed of. Plot holders are not permitted to bring rubbish or waste onto the site to burn at any time. By following these rules, allotment holders can enjoy bonfires safely and responsibly, whilst burning their garden waste. An annual bonfire social event, organised by the Millfield Allotments Association, is held in October. For details of the upcoming bonfire, see our Events page.

Allotment plots are a great way to grow your own fruits, vegetables, and flowers. However, these plots should be maintained and cultivated regularly in order to yield the best results. Keeping your plot tidy and well maintained will also ensure that it remains attractive and safe for other allotment users. Unkempt plots can become overgrown and unproductive, and may even be a nuisance to other allotment owners. It is important to ensure that your plot is kept well maintained and cultivated. Unkempt Plot Process: Allotment plots are a great way to grow your own fruits, vegetables, and flowers. However, these plots should be maintained and cultivated regularly in order to yield the best results. Keeping your plot tidy and well maintained will also ensure that it remains attractive and safe for other allotment users. Unkempt plots can become overgrown and unproductive, and may even be a nuisance to other allotment owners. It is important to ensure that your plot is kept well maintained and cultivated. Cultivation is deemed to be the planting and growing of vegetables, fruit bushes and flowers. As a guide approximately 65% of a plot at Millfield should be used for the cultivation of vegetables, whilst the remaining 35% can be used for fruit, flowers, grass and the siting of sheds, greenhouses and polytunnels. Each year the Committee will appoint an inspection panel and schedule regular inspections of plots that are timely, fair and appropriate to the season to ensure the undertaking by tenants are adhered to. All allotment tenants have an obligation to cooperate in such inspections. Procedures for non-cultivation will be fair, and made known at the outset to any tenant against whom action is proposed, by order of the following process: 1) A plot is inspected and deemed to be unkempt, or lacking in adequate cultivation in line with the tenancy agreement as set out by Millfield Allotments Association and Faversham Town Council. 2) The Millfield Allotments Association Committee is notified of the unsatisfactory condition of the plot in question. 3) The plot holder is contacted by the Association Secretary to advise on the outcome of the inspection. A warning letter is sent to the plot holder and retained on record by the Secretary. 4) A re-inspection of the plot is conducted 28 days after the warning letter is sent. Failure to bring the plot up to the required standard plot will result in the termination of the tenancy agreement, with a termination letter being issued by the Secretary. Upon termination of the tenancy agreement, the plot holder must vacate the plot, taking all of their belongings with them. 5) The plot will then be let to a new tenant.

Millfield Allotments' communal orchard is located on Plot 58B. Following storms over the last few years, several of the old apple trees had to be felled due to damage sustained. However, one of the older Bramley apple trees still stands on the orchard and a number of new trees have also been planted. We look forward to the fruits emerging in the coming years. All plot holders are welcome to help themselves to the apples from the orchard if they would like some. Communal Orchard: Millfield Allotments' communal orchard is located on Plot 58B.
