Statement - Allotment Hedges

We understand that some residents are concerned about the recent hedge cut at the Gertie Gale allotments.

Whenever hedge work is carried out on PTC sites, we are committed to ensuring sufficient planning and preparation before a cut, as well employing experienced, knowledgeable, and professional contractors. The recent works were agreed by the Community Matters Committee and the allotment Chairman. The work has now been completed, with the hedge remaining approximately 6ft or more in places. The off cuts have been removed and the tracks in the ground will be smoothed over.
