Fishergreen Allotments

This site is on the edge of the city – opposite the Racecourse - on Fishergreen Lane which runs from the Boroughbridge Road towards Fishergreen. Most plot holders use a vehicle when visiting the site and the Society has recently improved the parking facilities. The land is alluvial and very fertile. There are currently 105 plots on the site but as they become vacant larger plots [up to 592 sq metres] are being divided to provide even more. Some of the perimeter fencing was renewed in 2010.

The allotments site has flooded in the past – it is just below the confluence of the rivers Ure and Skell. It is hoped the works undertaken by the Environment Agency will end the problem or greatly reduce it.
