Our allotment AGM today and we made a significant step towards increased biodiversity on our site. Agreeing in principle to allow small-scale ponds on individual allotment plots.
We need to agree the specifics of the ponds that will be allowed (size, depth, materials used, sustainability, location etc) but provided plot holders meet this criteria they will be allowed small ponds on site next year.
@Broadfork if they can push it through before the end of the year, they could have spawn this spring... might be a useful deadline to work to
@amberfirefly I will certainly pass my recommendations to the committee early this week. They do have a lot of other things on their plates.
There’s one more committee meeting at the end of this month. We’re quickly running out of road to do things this year but I’ll try.
