Best kept allotment awards 2022 & the Civic Award

Epping Town Mayor Cllr Barbara Scruton presented Jonathan Crawley with the best-kept allotment award for his plot at Lower Bury Lane allotments at Epping Town Council’s Annual Town Meeting on Thursday 20th April 2023. Jonathan received a cheque for £25 along with his certificate.

Winner of the best-kept allotment 2022 at Meadow Road was Melanie Hanson. Melanie wasn’t able to attend the meeting to receive her certificate and cheque, so will be presented with it at a later date.

Concept 5 (formerly Geoffrey Drayton) have been chosen to receive the Civic Award for a sensitively restored building and will also be presented with their certificate in person. They were commended for:

“Concept 5 104 High Street; the redevelopment of the shop, once Geoffrey Drayton, has restored the iconic pop-out, castle-like 1960s format, with minor modifications intended to make it more weatherproof.”

Epping Town Council present these three awards, and many others, on an annual basis.
