On March 1st, mayor John Bennett officially opened the council's allotments on Lethlean Lane. There are 40 plots and they have all been allocated to those on the waiting list - with over 20 still waiting.

Seen here holding the ribbon are Cllr. Anne-Marie Rance (left) and town clerk Eleanor Giggal.

The mayor quoted from the Hayle Town Crier of 1933 a question as to why there were no allotments in Hayle. 78 years later, and after a great deal of work by the town clerk and the Glebe Working committee (Cllrs Bennett, Horwell, Capper, Coombe and Pollard), we have finally delivered. (Hence the happy faces).
