Residents are set to reep their rewards after winning a lengthy two-year battle for allotments.
Lilleshall & Donnington Parish Council recently announced an agreement with Telford & Wrekin regarding the boundary and size of land set aside for the allotments.
And it is hoped the site will be up and running by September of this year.
Parish Clerk, Ralph Morgan, said it has taken him two years to get to this point and that there has been a waiting list of people keen to take on a plot.
He said: “For two years I have been banging my head against the wall. Now we are waiting for a planning officer to contact Highways to see if we can apply for planning.
“We won’t know how many allotments we will get on there until we have ploughed the field. I am hoping to get twenty.”
He also estimated the allotments to cost in the region of £4,500 to buy.
Brian Green, Lilleshall and Donnington chairman, said: “We have been trying for quite a long time to get this up and running. We have to get through all the planning and change of use.
There is a big demand for them.”
