CHESTER has officially appointed a Postcode Gardener and become the first city north of London to do so. Following the success of the initiative in the capital, Friends of the Earth Chester has sought to emulate it. The part-time role is part of the 10xgreener scheme which seeks to combine transforming local green spaces with the help of the community. Former English teacher Charlotte Houghton, who lives in the Garden Quarter and has always had a passion for the outdoors, has taken on the job in Chester. She said: I m so excited to be hired as Chester s Postcode Gardener, I m so proud to live in such a wonderful city, and now I ve got an opportunity to help the community to beautify as many green spaces as we can over the next year!
