Minister Trevor Sargent TD has welcomed news from Fingal County Council that the extension of the allotments at Turvey Avenue Donabate is to be completed in the coming weeks.
Minister Sargent said, ‘I am delighted with the County Manager’s response informing me that the works at Turvey will be completed soon to give people on the waiting list an opportunity to take up an allotment.’
The council said that a contractor has been informed that his tender has been successful under the “Works Programme of Parks Division 2009”. This is being fast tracked as it one of the relatively low-expenditure projects that has the potential to benefit a good number of people and can proceed without delay. Those on the waiting list are currently being contacted so they can be on site as soon as the works are complete.
The Minister concluded, ‘This allotment has the potential of providing an even better facility for the many people in Dublin North who want to grow their own fruit and vegetables and enjoy the camaraderie of others working their plot of land.’
