Len Parnell retires after 40 years of looking after Coventry's 3,000 allotment plots - Coventry Telegraph

He should get a medal for all his hard work. Happy Retirement Len

He looks well for 80! I bet you could have a long and interesting chat with him.

What a fabulous chap! I love reading about real people, who do real things.

yup he's the guy who set up the buffer between the lottie sites and the council therefore the council can't charge ridiculous rents cos they don't actually employ anyone to collect rents.

We have some lovely allotments sites in Coventry, my favourite being the one that runs alongside the canal at the back of Eden Street.
