WE were at the Potter Street and Church Langley allotment back in December (see film below). At that time, it was simply a large field with lots of potential.

We returned in August and were amazed at the transformation by the amazing Colin Thorpe and his team.

It is also testament to the partnership work with Harlow Council’s Portfolio Holder for the Environment, Nicky Purse and her team.

Colin has had applicants from Potter Street, Church Langley and Newhall renting out plots.

Colin and the team have also been distributing food to local organisations such as Mike’s Den and the Baptist Church.
