Today we have moved a wooden children's playhouse onto the site (to be reassembled shortly) along with a totem pole! and a large amount of treated timber. We intend to build raised bed edging with it. A bench has also been bought, but has yet to be assembled. Watch this space for further images.
Two pear trees and two plum trees have also been planted, along with the creation of a strawberry bed, which has been planted with Cambridge Favourite and an Alpine variety.

2.4 Million Pound Award from the National Lottery
The St Ann's allotments have been awarded £2.4 million by the National Lottery. This will be used to fund the extensive restoration of the allotment site. This will include:
- resurfaced access roads
- new water supply
- repairs to security fencing
- hedge cutting and the clearance of derlict allotments
We are thinking of asking STAA to just divolve our share of the money £2.4 million / 700 ish, we could buy a new greenhouse and shed. Lets hope the money isn't wasted!
