12k for East Leeds allotment revamp12.00.00am GMT Wed 7th Mar 2007 Leeds City Council is investing over £12k in a revamp of the Osmondthorpe allotments in East Leeds. The money is being spent on an intensive clean-up operation and a 1.8m-high palisade fence to improve security. Whilst welcoming the investment, local councillor Richard Brett talked about the benefits of owning an allotment. Councillor Richard Brett (Lib Dem, Burmantofts & Richmond Hill) said, "The new fence will provide improved security and the clean-up will give the allotments a timely face-lift. Hopefully the project will not only make the allotments a more appealing prospect for the people who already have a patch, but also for those people thinking of getting one. "An allotment gives people the chance to relax in their own space, a rare commodity in this day and age. A bit of greenery they can call their own. Whether for purely recreational purposes or for the serious business of growing veg, allotments are a terrific asset for the community. "If anyone is interested in taking on an allotment patch at Osmondthorpe they can get in touch with Lynne Rogers at Leeds City Council on 0113 39 57400 or email her at lynne.rogers@leeds.gov.uk."
