Dirty Old Towns – Polytunnels – Make the Difference!

cwpblog_tunnels

Hello everyone, don’t know if anyone was watching Diarmuid Gavin and Dirty Old Towns, but C.W.P. were involved in helping out the Summerhill community group who are trying to reclaim a derelict site and turn it into community allotments in the middle of Dublin city.

After a call out over the radio on the Colin Hayes show we responded with an offer of a polytunnel to Trevor who was managing the overall project. 2 days later we had the team up on site building a 14ft x 24ft Gardener’s Choice for the group. You can see the team in action on Dirty Old Town’s first show of the season on Wednesday the 1th April. The Summerhill group had done a great deal of work in clearing the site and trying to get the project up and running but just ran short of money to get the whole scheme over the finishing line so CWP were delighted to sponsor a tunnel to help them further. The CWP team had the tunnel up in one day and their efforts can be viewed on television. If you missed the show it is available on the RTE Player service: http://www.rte.ie/player/#!v=1143638

We wish all the guys success in their continued efforts in Summerhill and the other areas that the team is working on around the country.
