Are your readers aware that for a modest annual fee of approximately £28 (half price for over 60's) they could have the use of an for growing fresh fruit and vegetables and in the process of cultivating and growing the produce they would become fitter and healthier.

So if any of your readers are interested, then I urge them to contact the Bexley Council, Parks Strategy De-partment for more information and plot availability.

Or visit their nearest allotment, we will be pleased to help them.

The allotment at Mayplace Road East, for example, has six plots available and there is no waiting list.

Keeping the allotment in use benefits in preserving green areas and anyone interested in organic food can grow their own.
