UK: Councillors get hands dirty helping Ukrainian community garden flourish
Swindon councillors have joined Ukrainian families to help maintain a community allotment which provides a place for connection and support.

Excerpt:
The project comes against a backdrop of huge demand for allotments across Swindon. Recent Swindon24 research found South Swindon Parish Council alone manages 584 plots across 14 sites, with two further sites set to take provision to around 604 plots, yet its waiting list stands at more than 400 people.
Haydon Wick Parish Council also has waiting lists and is exploring a fourth allotment site in Oakhurst, while some parts of the borough, including St Andrews, have no statutory allotment provision at all.
About the Ukrainian community garden Councillor Jake Chandler said:
“Providing spaces like this for the community to use and bring empty allotments back into use is so inspiring, happy to lend a hand!”
Last year, a team of ten volunteers from UKRI’s Arts and Humanities Research Council helped clear paths, paint raised beds and add compost ahead of the growing season.
