August 2023 Allotment News

Many thanks to Kettering Town Council

Kettering Town Council continue to support our Society. Thanks to a grant from their Community Lottery and the hard work of Peter and Andrew at Margaret Road, we were able to to remove hazardous asbestos. See the coverage in the Evening Telegraph. This follows on from the generous support from the Council to install a superb new fence for Windmill Avenue.
