Replacement of the Show Shed in 2006

The end of 2005 and early 2006 saw the allotment site plagued by attacks of vandalism. Twenty sheds were burned down, greenhouses smashed and in some cases crops destroyed. Measures were taken by members to enhance the security on site and these attacks virtually ceased. We also applied to the Lottery's Awards for All program to purchase a secure storage container and office container to replace the dilapidated wooden show shed and to purchase better locks for the main gates.

The Wildlife Area

We have created a wildlife area on what was originally Plots 14-17. This area has suffered from drainage problems for the past 60 years and despite the work to improve the situation the area has now become unsuitable for allotment plots. On the area we have a pond, wildflower meadow & orchard. We have received funding from Liverpool City Council's Councillors Community Initiative Fund to create the area.

Woodland Area

The small woodland area behind plots 60, 61 and 42 was developed in 2008 into a prime wildlife habitat to encourage a wide variety of birds, plants and insects. Bulb planting in October 2008. Special Thanks go to Jeff Frost, Robbie Potter, Joan and Colin Langeveld, John Hibbert and Daniel Barrington for helping Woodland bulbs February 2009 Woodland Daffodils March 2009 Woodland Bluebells April 2009 Woodland notice board to provide information about the area and to promote wildlife       Ducks on the woodland pond May 2009
