GREEN-fingered residents from Axbridge could soon be sowing, pruning and weeding with friends on a community allotment.

GREEN-fingered residents from Axbridge could soon be sowing, pruning and weeding with friends on a community allotment.

The town council is considering renting some land for the project and is asking anyone interested to come forward.

The allotment would be a project for gardeners in the village to work on. There are already about 20 allotments in Hillside but there is a long waiting list.

Two residents asked the council to consider setting up the scheme, which has already been piloted in Bristol.

Anyone interested in taking part in a community allotment can contact the council via its website at www.axbridge-tc.gov.uk
