Just raising the profile of Christine’s comment, following a very successful kick-off meeting a couple of weeks ago:
Coates Community Garden – Allotment
On the 1st of July we had our first meeting.There were over thirty residents who all registered their interest. During the evening Christine Clifford made a short presentation and introduced Sara Lawlor and Gabby from Kemble who told everyone about how they had gone about doing something similar. Volunteers came forward to form a team/committee to drive this project forward. Our priorities now are :
1. Find and negotiate a lease on suitable land.
2. Organise ourselves legally and financially.
3. Research fund raising.
More news soon of course, as things develop!
