A housebuilder and a Scout group have teamed up to transform some disused open space into an allotment.

David Wilson Homes and Burley Scouts & Explorers came together to create the allotment, where the Scouts and Explorers will be able to grow their very own fruits and vegetables, on land near the housebuilder's Centurion Meadows and Imperial Court developments.

Produce grown on the allotment will be donated to foodbanks or made into chutneys and jams to be sold for charity.

Equipment and soil was provided by David Wilson Homes for the project.

Adam Thompson, Scout leader at Burley Scouts, said: “We knew we had a great idea but to achieve our aim we needed help.

"We reached out to David Wilson Homes and their response was brilliant.

"Their enthusiastic and continued support has enabled us to transform the derelict site to a beautiful area that is ready to grow plants."

Sam Wood, sales director at David Wilson Homes Yorkshire West, said: "We think the initiative shown by the Burley Scouts is brilliant and we were more than happy to lend a hand when they asked."
