Alyth Development Trust is holding a public consultation on proposals to create new allotments in Alyth. The consultations on the Community Action Plan over the summer of 2021 identified more allotment space as a priority to help make Alyth a more resilient town.
Over the past few months people across the town have joined together in a working group to develop plans and concepts for where new allotments might be created and and what they might look like.
The consultation event on 19 June will be very informal and you can come along for as long as you like to find out more – any and all interested people will be very welcome! ADT and the working group will be sharing potential sites and seeking suggestions for other sites, and will have drawings and details of the plans as they have evolved up to this point, no matter where the allotments are finally built.
Drop in to the Town Hall any time between 3pm and 7pm on 19 June! We’re looking forward to seeing you.
I believe that ADT has the field between Isla Grove and the Sewerage works down as a site for the proposed allotments. Can you tell me why I and my neighbour whose houses alongside the field have not been consulted regarding this plan. his ffiel floods and has a large number of sewer inspection pits and large sewerage pipes in it. These pipes are vey close to the surface and have been shown to leak regularly. This field is not suitable for allotments due to the presence of these pipes and the access required by Scottish water for their maintenance would cause the allotments to be destroyed every time that maintenance was required. Please think again
Hi Linda, thanks for your comment. This is the purpose of the consultation. Your comments are noted and we will be sure to include these considerations as we move forward. These sites are only under consideration and all the potential sites will now be publicised online for everyone to have a chance to comment.
