Updates: Fortis Green Community Allotments Trust
Minutes:
Rupert Lancaster and Don Fisher provided an overview of their successful efforts to retain the allotment site in Fortis Green. A not-for-profit company called the Fortis Green Community Allotment Trust has been set up and they have now purchased the freehold for the site from Thames Water. They intend to run the allotments for the benefit of the community and plans include better management of the waiting list, more small plots to enable more growers, better management of wildlife, encouraging bee keepers and promoting onsite community links and outreach.
An open day celebration will be held on Saturday 2 October.
