Plans to provide new allotments for keen gardeners in Honiton are moving forward.
The scheme, for a site off Battishorne Way, was first discussed in 2018 and Honiton Town Council entered into a lease agreement in February 2019.
Last month, the council negotiated with East Devon District Council to receive around £68,000 from the district authority to fund the new allotment plots. A meeting of the town council’s allotment working group was arranged for Friday, February 5.
A report to Monday’s town council meeting said it was “likely that the next step will be to enter the construction contract and that may be resolved at full council in March 2021”.
