County Road North waste land as allotments

John Fareham and John Abbott are providing funding for the conversion of the Council’s patch of open land on County Road North into allotments.

We were both happy to provide Community Initiative funds for this purpose. Bringing this piece of land back into use for something proper helps meet the demand for more allotments. It also goes some way towards guaranteeing that this land will never get into the mess local residents first told us about. (This was, as readers may recall, because the officers did not know which part of the Council owned it.) There may not be many allotments on this land, but the weeds that used to cover it will be Public Enemy Number One to its new users. We might well have the temerity to call that a result.
