🌱 Save Brixworth Northampton Road Allotments! 🌱

4th September 2024

Our beloved Brixworth Northampton Road Allotments, a site with historical significance dating back to the 16th century, are at risk, and we need your help to protect this vital community space! For centuries, these allotments have provided a place for families, gardeners, and nature lovers to come together, grow fresh produce, and enjoy the outdoors. Now, we’re facing an urgent challenge to keep this precious green space alive.

The proceeds generated will be allocated towards covering legal expenses aimed at protecting and retaining the allotments, plus any surplus funds exceeding our initial goal will be directed toward supporting the development of the site with:

  • Additional Micro plots (for children/young families)
  • Support growing produce for the local Brixworth larder (of which we are a key contributor)
  • Developing and improving the site access with provision of more easy access pathways and raised beds
  • Creating a communal Potting shelter to allow products/cuttings to be shared plus providing a meeting place on rainy days.

Please consider donating to the GoFundMe campaign to help us save the allotments. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference! Together, we can ensure that future generations have the opportunity to experience the joy of community gardening in this historic location.

Street Watch empowers local people to help keep their communities safe by volunteering to patrol their neighbourhoods, reporting issues like anti-social behaviour, vandalism, or suspicious activity to the police. Volunteers work in teams, guided by a local coordinator, and collaborate with neighbourhood policing teams to make a real difference.

How it works: 👮 Patrol your area for as little as 2 hours per month (or more if you want!) 👥 Walk in pairs with fellow volunteers to stay safe 🐕 You can even walk your dog while you patrol! 🦺 Wear a high-visibility “Street Watch” jacket to show your commitment to the community

Chief Inspector Dave Wakeman explains: “Street Watch is about going for a walk with your neighbours, being a visible presence, and helping to deter crime while building community spirit.”
