Good grief, no !!

I rent from the Borough of Charnwood and there are numerous other sites in the Borough run by various Parish Councils etc and at least one site owned by De Lisle (who seems to own a lot of land round here) and none provide such things.

Perhaps those private sites run by Wyevale and similar would do so but they are in another league rent-wise.

Yes, we have 3 barrows kept near the gate for anyone to use especially to transport from the car park to the site. We renew these every 18 months or so as they are well used especially when the manure delivery comes in

We have 5, bought with grants for the use of plot holders. We are a small site, though  :happy7:

No not provided, but I am lucky I have friends that let me use theirs, but maybe not on the day that the compost arrives.  Did have a plastic fold up one from Lidle which was useful until it split.
