Minutes:

The Executive Board considered a report which set out a proposal to asset transfer the management and maintenance of 8 allotment sites from the Council to formal structured community groups by way of lease.

 

Options for the remaining council-owned allotment site at Burnley Road in Blackburn would be brought to a future meeting once plans for the wider Carl Fogarty Way/Imperial Mill area had been finalised.
