Garden Membership
Residents of the Garden Square are entitled to access the Gardens and elect the Committee to manage the Gardens. A membership levy is collected by the council along with council tax. The Committee is accountable to residents and provides financial and other management information to residents at the Annual General Meeting held each January.
Residents of neighbouring streets are welcome to apply for membership as “non-resident members”, subject to capacity and payment of a fee. New members are added from the waitlist at the start of each financial year (April to March) on a first come first served basis. The estimated waitlist time is currently 2 years. The Committee reserves the right not to renew non-resident memberships each year where residents have determined this is to the benefit of the Gardens. The Committee is not accountable to non-resident members.
Please use the form below to request membership (residents) or be added to the waitlist (non-residents).
