Initially proposed by the Liberal Democrat-led council, the rent hike aimed to align charges—from 23p to 39p per square metre—with rates in comparable areas across England. However, growing pressure from allotment holders, residents, and Conservative opposition councillors led to a reconsideration of the plan.
