We have been successful in our application to Bradenstoke Solar Farm Community Benefit Fund for a grant to purchase equipment and materials to install a solar-powered pump to the existing well at the allotment. The Parish Council also generously contributed some funding for this project.
The ground preparation and installation work is being carried out by members of the allotment association, and work began in July 2018. To date, we have cleared the area around the existing well and have encased the well-head in concrete ready for the installation of the pumping system when it arrives.
