We are closing the Crediton Community Allotment. It's been an
interesting, often rewarding but also hard time running the
Community Allotment since we took it over from Westbank in 2021.
Ultimately it seems there just aren't many people who wish to be
part of a community allotment here in Crediton so we have decided
to end the project. I think a big factor in this is that unlike
many other communities we don't have a long waiting list for
allotments here in Crediton which is a good thing.
Some of the tools will be going to other Sustainable Crediton
projects such as the pollinator group. The rest plus the big things
like the shed, picnic table, water butts and paving slabs are off
to the Four Mills Lane Project run by Turning Tides. This feels
like such a great project to support and as they had just removed a
shed that had become derelict the timing is good. Some of the
equipment will be held and used by Turning Tides but will hopefully
be linked in to the Make and Mend Project when that gets off the
ground.
Thanks to everyone who has supported this project and special
thanks to Terry Hadley and the Turning Tides Project folk for doing
such a great job of dismantling and moving all that stuff which was
a huge job in itself.

And a huge thank you from Core Group to Christina, for all
her efforts in setting up and running this project for the past
three years
