We are a Liverpool City Council Allotment Site and as such we are governed by the LCC Rules and Regulations as well as our own local Bye-laws.
Liverpool City Council and the Association of Liverpool Allotments have issued guidance on the rules and standards expected of tenants and is essential reading for all plot holders. It can be found here. It is known as the ACT System.

The Association of Liverpool Allotments (ALA) Competition to find the Best Allotment Site in Liverpool took
place from July 6-10th 2026.
Our site was the proud winner in 2025 and we are delghted to announce that we have retained the title
of Best Allotment Site in Liverpool 2026. Once again we had the highest total score for the best plots,
our governance processes and support provided to plot holders.
We could not have achieved this fantastic accolade without the efforts of all our plot holders, committee
and those members who put their plots up for judging.
In addition to winning the Best Site we also won the "Best 5 Plots" Award too. Congratulations to
the 5 members who were chosen to represent our site, you did us proud!

Allerton Allotments Society Apiarist
On site we have an experienced beekeeper, Ian Sturgess who tends to his hives and produces award winning honey.
Read here about the common questions and concerns people have in a Q&A talk he gave at the AAS on June 7th 2026.
Ian gave us a demonstration of how he harvests the honey by spinning on 30th August 2026 in the Big Shed.
