Very good to welcome the ITV weather team presented by Alex Beresford to America Lane this afternoon/evening to make their weather forecast live from Haywards heath and focusing on the heatwave, the forthcoming hosepipe ban and the effect on allotment holders. Heartening to hear Alex talk about the problems growers face from this drought and to recognise that we put sustainability first and that many plotholders share surplus produce with local organisations.
Great to learn that this came about because Haywards Heath Town Council was one of the most responsive bodies contacted by ITV. Big thanks to all involved, especially Helen Hewett for organisation on the day. Biggest thanks to Gareth Jones for letting his plot be used for the filming and for postpoing his watering while they were commenting on how dry it looked!
(And perhaps also to Jane Hack for photobombing part of Alex 's delivery to camera:D )
