UCKFIELD'S WONDERFUL PLANTERS<br />
by Ian Smith<br />
Volunteers have been working hard to clear paths and scraps<br />
of land that have been overwhelmed by plant growth as the<br />
growing season has really taken off in the period mid-June to<br />
mid-July.<br />
One area that the group is particularly<br />
proud of is the 'garden bank' outside the<br />
town's library (photo attached). Leafcovered<br />
branches on the tree by the traffic<br />
lights outside the police station have been<br />
lopped off as they seemed to be responsible<br />
for the lights phasing not operating<br />
correctly because the leaves were blocking<br />
the view of the traffic for the camera at the<br />
top of the lights column .... simples!<br />
Meanwhile, litter-picking activities<br />
continue unabated. We believe that<br />
<strong>Uckfield</strong> has one of the cleanest and tidiest<br />
High Streets in Wealden District and we are<br />
pleased that the District Council Chairman<br />
is due to pay a visit to <strong>Uckfield</strong> in <strong>August</strong> to<br />
meet volunteers.<br />
In the September edition of <strong>Uckfield</strong><br />
<strong>Matters</strong> we will be featuring the Brighter<br />
<strong>Uckfield</strong> Annual Garden Competition.<br />
