Unfortunately the Town Council have advised us that the allotments will not be up and running this year and have mooted a start date of January 2010.
The Steering Committee have responded to a council report on the proposed allotments and made a number of suggestions. We are yet to hear back from the Council as regards how many of our reccomendations have been taken on board.
The main thrust of our reccomendations is that they increase the number of plots that are to be made available while at the same time reducing the individual plot holder rental costs costs.
I understand that the Town Council will be carrying out an advertising campaign shortly, seeking applications from interested people for the 2010 growing season.
I will give further updates when I receive them.
