Work Party – 6th March 2022
Thanks to some sterling efforts at the Work Party on 6 Feb, and tasks during the week, there have been some major improvements – we hope you like them.
- The flower beds near the trading hut and composting toilets have been spruced up
- Small ‘starter plots’ have been created on 4 large plots which had been vacated over the winter – these will now be let to new tenants from the waiting list on a 1 year ‘probationary’ tenancy
- A new native hedge has been planted behind the trading hut – when grown it will be great for wildlife and help with site security
A big thank you to: Tessa, Patrick, Richard, Kristin, Margaret, Relli, Steve, Jane C, Jane F, Ann, Sarah, Fernando, Andrew, the Gryc family and the Council’s Ranger team for their help
Diary date of the next work party: Sun 6 March 10 – 12
Please come along to help – there are jobs for everyone
And if you can’t make Sunday mornings, but could do mid-week do let us know by emailing workparty.brenthamallotments@gmail.com
If you prefer to work alone, there is an ongoing task list to help improve the appearance of our site:
- All tenants are responsible for maintaining their surrounding paths ie strimming/cutting grass, edging, surface repairs; if necessary, please agree with your neighbour who does what
- Car Park – keep woodchips swept into one tidy pile
- Car Park – help to keep flower beds trimmed and free of weeds
- Car Park – help to keep the edge by the footpath clear of weeds and brambles
- Keep the area behind the Trading Hut clear of rubbish and undergrowth
- Mow the grassed area adjacent to the car park and beside the portaloos (motorised mower will be needed!)
- Keep the beds by the composting toilets tidy and weed free
- Top-up the water containers in the composting toilets
- Pick up and dispose of any litter you see
…and all please note
NO DUMPING OF RUBBISH ANYWHERE – YOUR RUBBISH, YOUR RESPONSIBILITY 100%
LOCK THE CAR PARK GATES MONDAY-FRIDAY 100%
Remember: if everyone does a LITTLE, it can help achieve a BIG result!
