Glasgow allotment holders to get free top soil as residents face 400 per cent hike

Allotment holders in Glasgow will get free top soil, as part of a range of measures the council claims will off-set a price hike of almost 400 per cent.

The rent rise will start in 2024 and is to see the current amount jump from £34.50 to £170 annually next year for a full plot.

Critics have suggested the rise, which would be the first in over a decade, will not be affordable for many allotment holders.
