More photos & Update

Here are some new photos taken over Christmas. The gate and parking area are now in place, the lane has been scraped and the site has been roughly cultivated. The storage container has also been delivered. The ground seems to veer between frozen solid or totally drenched depending on the weather (this is England after all!), but this gives us a chance to crack on with the rest of the site preparation work while we are unable to get on with planting.

The individual plots will be marked out this weekend so we will all be able to see exactly where we are. Then next week the perimeter fencing will go in, the storage container will be totally refurbished (with steel plates bolted across the openings); we'll also be laying a central path with wood chippings and doing some more work on improving the lane. The next steps will be to look at improving drainage and start digging the trench for the water supply.

We will be having a meeting on the site at 11.30am on Sunday 10th January - all are welcome. Hopefully, weather permitting, the bulk of the work will be done by then, so this can be considered to be the official opening of the site to individual tenants.
