A £25,000 community plot is one of the new developments at an allotment site in Abertysswg in Wales.
The community plot is funded by the Heads of the Valleys Programme and made up of a number of accessible growing plots and some raised beds that can be accessed by wheelchair users.
The community plot can be used by the whole community, including school groups, young people, families and older members and is a joint effort between Abertysswg Communities First Partnership, the Abertysswg Allotment Society and Groundwork Caerphilly, who oversaw the improvements to the allotment.
Other works include creating a new network of paths, making the allotments easily accessible, removing an Asbestos Shed and building a new one, clearing large areas of debris to created new plots and creating a new access point to the allotments via a new gate and path.
Deputy Minister for Housing and Regeneration, Jocelyn Davies said: "Regeneration works best when it involves the community and this is an excellent example of a community recognising a need and looking for the help of government and other partners to achieve their vision."
