Meanwhile, on Mylen Road, it is also decided that a 39m of 1800mm-high green 358 security mesh fencing supported on green coated box section concreted in posts is to be installed. An initial quote was given of £6,597.

The motion was passed with no discussion, with all in agreement.

Cllr Huges said: "This money has been sitting there since I became councillor and I am glad to see that this money is in all being spent.

"They should be the best allotment in the country. So let's get on with it."
