Welcome to Warriston allotments site guidelines
Th
* Public paths adjoining your plot should be kept clear of long grass, overhanging obstacles, potholes and dips.
* Water taps are on from end March to end October.
* Fires are allowed on Sundays and after 6pm during the week. Perennial weeds, diseased plant material and wood can be burned on site. It is dangerous to burn plastic, carpets and other carcinogenic materials. Out of respect to those living close by, please keep smoke under reasonable control.

* No waste of any kind should be dumped outside the bin, in the car park, near the cottage, along pathways, or in the woods.
* No plot vegetation or waste of any kind should be dumped on the communal compost heap beside the cottage.
