Purpose

The aim
of this decision is to provide funding for a community group in
Cottenham to revitalise an allotment plot, cultivating potatoes and
onions to be shared with the community and the local food bank.
They will also collaborate with the local Scout group, offering
volunteering sessions and projects for the Scouts. The funding will
cover the cost of seed potatoes, seeds, compost, heritage apple
trees, fruit bushes, and essential tools such as fruit cages,
compost bins, and water harvesting equipment. Wherever possible,
all wood and materials will be recycled and sustainably
sourced.
