Sedgefield Town Council oversees 44 plots spanning across two sites. Winterton allotments were established in 2010 when land formerly owned by the NHS was repurposed for the community. Winterton is currently home to 22 plots, a mixture of both full and half plots, as well as toilet and storage facilities. The original allotments at Butterwick Road hold 21 full plots and 1 half plot. The location of each site can be found on the following allotment map created by Durham County Council – click here

Allotment rents are to be collected in April, with invoices sent out at the start of the month. The rent for the year 2022/23 is £45 for a full plot, £35 for a half plot. The Allotment Rules & Regulations can be found here – click here
