New Fence Fund

Why do we need a new fence?

Those of you who garden on the Green Lane site, and have recently had sheds broken into or produce stolen or damaged, will know that our priority is to obtain funding for new security fencing and gates. This will be an expensive project and cost in the region of £30,000 - and going up all the time as the price of steel rises. The council have made it clear that they have no funds available for this and so it is up to us to raise the necessary funding.

In order to make our project more manageable we have decided to split it into four smaller phases.

Phase One is now completed! Click here to read more.

The other three phases will provide fencing and gates along the top boundary section shown below, provide a natural wildlife hedge along the longest boundary and new security fencing to the remaining section along the eastern boundary.

Anyone who has ideas of how we can raise funds or who to approach for a donation – please get in touch. Any company offering a donation will be acknowledged on our blog and web site and get a bit of free publicity.

If you have any ideas and are willing to get involved by letter writing etc. then please get in touch either by email using the Contact us link below or by contacting the Allotment Association Chair.
