Yes, it's off Liverpool Rd which links Platt Bridge to Hindley.
If anyone's interested but wasn't able to attend today:
The group is just in the process of clearing the land, all help welcome. They will be on site every Sunday so just pop along and they can tell you more about the allotments then.

Will a check be made for any hibernating animals in the " clearing the land?"
I thought it was a nature reserve?
