Welcome!

Welcome to the web site of the Cottenham Park Allotments and Gardens Association (CPAGA). CPAGA aims, in conjunction with Merton Council, to ensure the good management, cultivation and protection of the Cottenham Park Allotments.

Merton Council together with Croydon Council, Kingston Council and Sutton Council has formed the South London Waste Partnership (SLWP). On behalf of SLWP, Croydon Council has entered into a contract with idverde for services that include allotment maintenance and management.

Merton Council and idverde publish Allotment Gardeners' Guidelines that apply to the Cottenham Park Allotments.
