Halesworth Allotment & leisure Gardens Association (HALGA) are pleased to announce that 20 new allotments adjoining Swan Lane are prepared, ready for use.

Thanks are due to Halesworth Town Council, Awards for All and all the volunteers who have been helping with hedge planting and fencing.

Both the Town Council and the Lottery Fund’s ‘Awards for All’ have generously provided the all-important initial funding that has enabled HALGA to progress quickly with this development.

There is still much work to do to erect three or four raised beds, install a community shed and provide access to water. Further funding will be needed to complete the project, in particular, for water access.

In the meantime, letters have been sent to all the Halesworth residents on the current waiting list inviting them to take on one of these allotments.
