We also need people to deliver leaflets – are you able to leaflet your road in the week 14th – 20th June?
Please contact us to let us know.
Allotments
- At our AGM in September, four of our members asked the Friends of Shrewsbury Park to talk to the Council regarding the Council's refusal to allow part of the Park to be made into allotments. We said we would ask members if they supported the idea of having additional allotments in the Park.
- There was an overwhelming "no" vote (4 voted for additional allotments, 44 voted against)
Members were not supportive for a number of reasons, not least because the park is a public space for all. - Thank you to all who replied - it is important to the Management Committee that we get people's views on what should happen in the Park.
