Browne Brothers recently completed Corks’ first public allotments in Ballincollig Co. Cork. The project was funded by Cork County Council in conjunction with South and East Cork Area Development (SECAD) and Ballincollig Tidy Towns.
The scheme represents the culmination of a partnership approach to delivering services for the community and the greater South Cork region. It comprises 80 plots along with a canteen, toilet facilities and storage areas.
It was opened by the Mayor of County Cork, Cllr Noel O’Connor. Have a look at the photographs below and we would love to hear your comments.
