GARDENERS have been enjoying a new wildlife area at the allotments in Welshman's Lane, Nantwich.

The area, which includes a pond, natural shrubbery and benches for relaxation, has been designed by Cheshire Wildlife Trust and paid for by Nantwich Town Council.

Cllr Keith Cafferty said: "The wildlife area is something that will benefit able bodied and disabled allotment holders.

"Hopefully it will be widely used and enjoyed by people who come to the allotments."

People wanting to become an allotment holder should call 01270 619224.
