A SUCCESSFUL meeting has been held to help establish an allotments' forum, an idea that came out of last year's city council allotments' review and consultation exercise.
The purpose of the forum is to facilitate a regular dialogue between allotment users and the council on how best to co-manage and promote the interests of the allotment sites.
The meeting was attended by tenants from a large number of the city's allotments and city councillors from several wards which contain allotment sites. Cllr Keith Owen, whose portfolio includes responsibility for the allotments' service, said: "Some very useful suggestions were made at the meeting which we will be taking on board.
"We are now working on these so that they can be discussed at a further meeting which will formally establish the forum."
