The recent field fire south of Hillstown Allotments nearly caused major damage to allotments and houses on Selwyn Street. Grateful thanks to the Derbyshire Fire Brigade and all who helped control the fire.

30 metres of hedge were destroyed on the allotment site, but no plats were affected.

Special thanks to Andy Carlisle, Kev Dack and Fred Webley for erecting temporary fencing to replace the burned hedge.
