Tenant bulletin October 2024

Green fingered gardeners commended

We’d like to thank all of the blooming marvellous tenants and leaseholders for their outstanding efforts in our 2024 gardening competition.

The stunning green spaces submitted by F&HDC tenants and leaseholders were visited in July and certificates and prizes were given to the winners in August.

The event is run and managed by Strategic Tenant Advisory Panel (STAP) members Gillian Jenkins and Sharon Gasson, both of whom also judge the event.

The prizes were donated by sponsors Mears, Swale Heating, Grovewell Garden Centres, Folkestone & Hythe District Council grounds maintenance team, Cllr David Godfrey and Cllr Jim Martin.
