Replacement storage containers
The two 20' x 10' storage containers on the carpark will replace the old shed. There will be a replacement toilet for the chemical loo.
Power for lighting we hope will come from a wind turbine.
The finance for the projects should be covered from LCC Allotment Strategy.

Improved plot access
With the aid of the Probation Service we are adapting 2 plots to improve the access for less able gardeners. We will lay slab paths and install raised beds. Most of the materials for the first plot have been recycled.
The second plot we have successfully applied for £3500 grants.

We have turned an old derelict plot into a nature reserve which can be used by not only plot holders but also schools.
We have had grants from organisations to assist us in paying for the work.
£500 from Ken Chamberlain Awards
£300 from LIFE
£4970 from Single Community Programme
Plans were drawn up with the help of Environ We did the initial clearing on the plots.
We have had a JCB dug out the pond area, and have received a number of birdboxes from Environ.
We are receiving help from Leicestershire and Rutland Probation Service.
Planting of hedging has taken place. Along hopefully with the willow structure.
Remember to give Paul entries for our Wildlife diary.
