The community is helping to bring a disused piece of land at the end of Leagate culdesac, on the edge of the Mersey Valley, back into life as an allotment plot. The site will eventually have 10 individual allotments and one community allotment, an orchard area, bees and possibly even pigs! Where possible the organisers want to try and encourage biodiversity and keep the site as a haven for nature. DUE TO HAZARDS ON THE SITE WE ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN PRESENT.
