Allotment neighbours shocked
GARDENERS tending their plots at Boundary Road allotments were amazed to discover illegal drugs were growing nearby.
The popular, council-owned site in Bidston has a long waiting list for plots, which rarely become available.
John Foxley, 64, of Birkenhead, said: “It is a pretty respectable place.
“We have got a school teacher here, two doctors and even someone who works with the police force.
“I have seen Paul here - he is a worker and he would keep himself busy digging. He’s a very nice guy.

“When you hear about cannabis factories, you normally think of heaters and lamps. I would not think you could grow it on an allotment.
“It is normally too cold.”
