The allotments were commended for becoming a thriving space utlised by a wide section of the community, with environmental awareness high on the agendas.

Uddingston Pride accepted the award on their behalf and the following week the organisation’s Liz Wilson and Sandy Robertson handed over the award to Susanne Mallin and Kevin Gough.
