18.01.2022 Message from a friendly neighbour: "Hi everyone those who have the combination for the garden lock. If you are wondering that way and you have time could you do some weeding/tidying please. During the week is fine. The grass & weeds are over grown some what - thanks guys."

17.01.2022 Many people are wondering about the status of the garden since our eviction notice. There is a Garden Sub Committee but we are still waiting to hear from The Newcastle City Council about a possible relocation site. It is a very slow process. We will need as many volunteers as possible when the situation is more clear. So there's not really much anyone can do at the moment. We do need volunteers to close up the chicken coop at night though. Please message us directly for this via our page. We will keep you all up to date as much as we can via the page. Keep watching this space!
