Gardeners now have smooth, safe approach to allotments

Gardeners in Maesycoed, Pontypridd, can now safely access their allotments after a team from Heidelberg Materials resurfaced the main access road to the site.

The road was in a very poor state of repair, making it difficult and potentially dangerous for members to access their gardens by car, mobility scooter or even on foot. 

Having failed to secure funding through various grant organisations, Andrew House, secretary of the Maesycoed Allotment Association, contacted Heidelberg Materials to ask for assistance.

“We are committed to supporting the local communities in which we operate and are delighted to have helped by resurfacing the access road from the main gate to the meeting shed,” said Daniel James, unit manager at our nearby Craig-yr-Hesg quarry.

Andrew House added: “We are extremely grateful to Heidelberg Materials for their support. The team was extremely professional and completed the project quickly and efficiently. It was a fantastic early Christmas present for our members and will allow them much easier and safer access to their allotments for many years to come.”
