The cash donations over the last two weeks, from customers has amounted to Morrisons (£13+£6), Home Bargains (£39+£18), Esso Petrol Station (£2+£1) totalling £53+£25 from our five home-made collection containers. Once again many thanks to everyone who continue to be so generous. We have also contacted Veolia to identify how we can support each other but we are still waiting until a specific member of staff returns from A/L. We have also written to London and Cambridge properties who own the land to discuss any protocols following their previous permission, and they have responded with some propositions for further discussion.

This will have the advantage of sharing the cost for a larger board, pending permission from the landowners – London and Cambridge Properties. Plans are still on track for stage one of the project in the National tree week, in November 2019, for the Ashworth hospital gardeners to rotovate two areas of the site, to enable bulb and tree planting and to cover the area with wood chippings.
