Eastside Park Allotments: One Year On

Almost a year since the completion of the Eastside Park allotments last June, local residents have been making the most of the good weather and cultivating not just their plots, but a thriving community.  It’s always rewarding to revisit any project, to see the progress and reflect on the design choices that helped bring it to life.

During my visit I happened to meet one of the plot holders, who warmly expressed her gratitude to Ken Dry at Newhaven Town Council and our team for delivering this facility right on their doorstep. She described the experience as “like winning the lottery,” and spoke of a wonderful mix of generations now sharing gardening tips and supporting one another.  A truly heartwarming sentiment to hear – and one that’s been passed on to our team: Rob, https://diversity.biz/, Chris at https://wilkinssafety.co.uk/  and Andy the contractor https://www.blakedown.co.uk/.
