Bakers Field greenhouse

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured the installation of a polythene tunnel-type greenhouse on the Bakers Field allotments and have arranged for the planting of trees and shrubs elsewhere on the site. Naturally we hope the greenhouse will be found useful by allotment holders, but the planting of trees and shrubs has involved negotiating with a conservation group to arrange for 500 native broadleaf trees and shrubs which were to be planted in November, using funds already committed in the past for use on this site. In these times of financial stringency in local government it may also be of note that we managed, working hand in glove with the local area team, to secure a substantial discount on the cost that would normally have applied.
