Standpipes to go at Stamford allotments to cut water use

Standpipes at Stamford Town Council allotments are to be removed to help cut water use.

The move comes as some allotment-holders complain of water charges increasing ten-fold as the town council tries to clawback the charges imposed on it by Anglian Water.

Earlier this year, the council faced a cumulative bill for £3,493.71 for the Uffington Road new site alone.
