       Allotments update

       As from the 1  April, the Parish Council took
                   st
       over  management  of  the  allotments.  There
       will be no changes for the first year, whilst all
       the  various  agreements  are  put  in  place.
       Invoices will be going out shortly to all those
       allotment  holders  who  have  expressed  an
       interest in keeping their allotments. There are
       currently  three  vacant  allotments,  two  of
       which will be divided to make smaller plots.
       By  dividing  them,  we  hope  to  be  able  to
       accommodate  as  many  of  those  on  the
       reservation  list  as  possible.  We  will  be
       contacting those who have been allocated
       one of the new allotments very shortly, once
       they have been measured out. Should you wish to put your name on the list for a
       future allotment, please contact either the Clerk or Cllr Robin Pitcher.
