Milton Lane Allotments
The first sod at the new allotment site in Milton Lane was cut by the Mayor and Mrs Cripps on 30th September 2010. Mrs Cripps was the first person to register an interest in an allotment on land opposite Longcross Cemetery. Planning permission was given following the need for a preliminary contamination assessment report.
The conditions have now been fulfilled which include providing details of a “hard and soft landscaping scheme” in the interests of the visual amenities of the locality and to assimilate the 
development into its surroundings.
There are 14 plots and these are allocated in the order of the waiting list with priority given to those who reside in the Parish. There has been an overwhelming response to this recent initiative, with people still wishing to be added to the waiting list. Cllr Cawley, (Chairman of Corporate Property in 2010) said “that in the light of the interest, we may well in future have to explore other possible sites”.
