Remember the mention of networking with the local police in the last post?

Well, here's an article from Linda:

You couldn't make this up!

Following a raid on the Britannia pub yesterday the police phoned Holbeck in bloom (who else?) having found a stash of cannabis growing in an upstairs room. They also found 22 sacks of compost, plant feed, bamboo canes, soil enhancer, buckets etc and wondered if Holbeck could make use of it.

Holbeck kindly rang me offering to share the ill gotten gains. Vivienne and i rushed to the pub and collected our half and took it back to the yard.

Today Parks have agreed for Holbeck to store their stash in the yard. I gave Dennis and Ian P a hand to unload and took the picture.

 

 

 

 

 

I think this will be a unique story to add to our spring brochure. It covers:

Working with other community groups, local council, and police;

Recycling - all the stuff would normally have been destroyed; and

showing that regardless of the weather or season Holbeck and Beeston in Bloom are working hard.

Good eh?
