Councillor Dromey asked if retention of the community garden was possible.

Officers explained it was actually a school garden that had been taken over by

guardians on an interim basis and that following the competitive dialogue

process it was not possible to leave the garden in situ but it was hoped the

expertise that had been developed could be used in the locality.
