Following complaints from Westmead Allotment holders, Cllr. Jill Whitehead recently walked along the wide footpath from Colston Avenue leading to the allotments and noted that the recent weather conditions have encouraged even further growth of the shrubs, such that the area is beginning to look like a jungle.  She has of course asked the relevant council’s officers to get these matters under control after all the wet weather!
