Viewed from Gladstone Road. Judging by the name of the allotments, one method of producing food on this site has been replaced by another. The allotment is owned by the Vale of Glamorgan Council. Anyone who lives in the Vale of Glamorgan can apply for one or two plots on any of the council-run allotment sites. Waiting times depend on the site, but it could be months or sometimes years. Allotment users can grow vegetables or flowers, and keep hens (but not cockerels). Some other types of livestock may be kept, subject to prior permission to do so from the council.
