“Being a former allotment holder myself, I know that a lot of hard work goes in to maintaining an allotment.
“But, at the end of the day, it’s also a great pleasure when you can actually grow your own fruit and veg.”
The mayor congratulated the winners and thanked the town council projects committee and Gill Lawrence who was the independent judge.
