Local councillors support Friends of Motcombe Gardens

The Friends of Motcombe Gardens has applied to ward councillors to help fund improvements in the popular community area.

A £500 grant from the devolved budget has been spent on the planting of new Prunus and Liquid Amber trees.

Chris Searle, Chair of the Friends of Motcombe Gardens, said: “Following generous support from Old Town Ward Councillors Amanda Morris, Jonathan Dow and Peter Diplock, the Friends of Motcombe Gardens recently planted some trees in the gardens. They are a great addition to this hidden gem in Old Town.”
