To all Bardfield Road Allotment Tenants 📣📣📣
Allotment Incinerator Suspension

The Parish Council has been asked whether the current suspension on the use of incinerators at the allotments can now be lifted.

Having considered the current conditions, the Council has decided that the suspension will remain in place for the time being.

Although we have had some recent rainfall, the Affinity Water hosepipe ban affecting this area remains in force, and conditions have not yet recovered sufficiently for the Council to consider lifting the restriction.

The position will be kept under review, and allotment holders will be notified when the Council considers it appropriate for incinerator use to resume.

Thank you for your understanding.
