About Spotland Bridge Allotments
In the Spotland area of Rochdale, near the River Spodden and the entrance to Healey Dell Nature Reserve, these allotments occupy a valley-floor site surrounded by steep wooded hillsides. The heavy clay soil is enriched by the river valley's alluvial deposits but prone to waterlogging in winter. The spectacular Healey Dell viaduct provides a dramatic backdrop, and the sheltered valley position creates a microclimate that is warmer than the surrounding hilltops, extending the growing season.
The Spotland Bridge association values PGT Repairs' expertise with the moisture-related machinery problems endemic to valley-floor allotment sites. Paul has helped the group develop a maintenance protocol that dramatically reduces the starting problems that plagued their equipment, and his thorough cleaning and treatment of fuel systems has extended the working life of their shared machinery significantly.
For allotment holders at Spotland Bridge Allotments (13.5 miles from Hyde), Paul offers affordable collection and delivery. This is especially useful for heavy rotavators and mowers that are difficult to transport in a car.
