Milton’s Allotment Charities

Milton has two sets of allotments, both off the Bruern Road next to the Cemetery.

Historically, the plots belong to two charities, the Milton Allotment and Recreation Charity (MARC) and the Milton Welfare Trust (MWT) and the income is used to support activities in the parish.

The plots to the right belong to the charity renamed Milton Allotments and Recreation Charity (MARC), previously known as the Fuel Allotments. The Parish Council is the sole trustee for this charity and meetings of trustees usually follow parish council meetings.

MARC aims to provide Allotment plots for use by parishioners for a small fee per annum, collected at the beginning of the growing season in the Autumn. Any residual income remaining once the maintenance costs have been covered is used to benefit the recreational provision in the village and suggestions for projects or ideas for ways to spend this money is welcomed by the trustees.

The plots to the left are for MWT which works in the same way but their residual proceeds go towards supporting villagers in times of need.

As far as possible both sets of allotments offer the same facilities and operate under the same guidelines and tenancy agreements.
