I RECENTLY visited the Lewes Road Community Garden.

As a guerrilla gardener of the troop of St Leonards and Hastings, I must say open spaces turned into something pleasurable, such as the Lewes Road site and those our troop carry out, are crucial.

I also hope the sterling work the community has carried out so far won’t be ruined, that police will check for vandalism and that Brighton and Hove City Council gives its backing as it is a community initiative.
