Interested in an allotment?

Did you know that as well as being an excellent way to enjoy the outdoors, learn new skills and make friends… just 30 minutes of gardening on your allotment can burn around 150 calories, the same as doing low impact aerobics?

If managed properly, an allotment can produce enough food to supplement a family’s weekly shop, with fresh fruit and vegetables over the year. This does require hard work and dedication but even the smallest crop grown, is money saved from the supermarket… and you know exactly where the produce has come from.

Camborne is lucky enough to have 2 thriving allotment organisations in the Parish; one at Enys Road with the other located next to the scout hut in Pengegon. Both sites are fully subscribed and operating waiting lists, but have a steady turnover of members and a range of plot sizes / accessibility to suit all budding gardeners regardless of age or experience.

As part of Safer Streets 5, Camborne Town Council has opted to direct some of the funding to run an intensive ‘Street Marshalls’ intervention in Camborne Town Centre. The Marshalls will address the community’s concerns about anti-social behaviour (ASB) issues whilst we wait for the new ASB Enforcement Officer for Camborne and Redruth to start their post in early 2024.

The Marshalls are locally recruited professional security personnel with a good knowledge of the area and expectations of the role, as they previously worked as Camborne’s Street Wardens during the post COVID-19 high street reopening. They will patrol the streets, visit businesses and focus on ‘ASB hot-spots’ including Commercial Square plus our parks, allotments, church yards and public toilets. Their shifts vary over the course of the week, to cover peak times and to avoid predictability. They aim to guide members of the public, support businesses with any ASB issues, intervene and professionally report any problems or concerns to relevant community partners including the Police and support agencies such as ‘Streetlink’ and ‘We Are With You’.

Although the Marshalls have been in post for a short time, their presence is already being positively felt in the town. Members of the public are reminded that although the Marshalls are in place, if you witness ASB or crime it is essential it is reported via 101 or 999.
