The North Star Pub

Welwyn Allotment Sites
Recent soil testing carried out at our allotment sites on Lockleys Drive and Orchard Road indicated high levels of lead present throughout the site.
Upon reviewing the report we immediately closed the site.
Our priority is the health and safety of our plot holders and residents. We are working with the Environmental Health team at Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, Hertfordshire County Council, the local GP Surgery and the UK Health Security Agency to share relevant safety information and advice.
Anyone with any health concerns can find government advice here.
The allotment site will remain closed until further notice.
**May 2025 update** WHBC, who as the principle authority have responsibility for the classification of contaminated land, have commissioned an extensive soil test of the entire site. We are expecting a report towards the end of June 2025.
A copy of the report can be viewed here.
We have put together a list of frequently asked questions here.
We will provide updates on our website, but if you have any queries or concerns please contact the Clerk, clerk@welwyn-pc.gov.uk
