Contributions have sprouted up to buy a lawn mower for Cromer's team of guerrilla gardeners.
Nigel Barrett was overwhelmed with support when he issued a crowdfunding appeal on Facebook. Donations were soon being handed in North Lodge Park Tea Rooms in response. The £160 raised has paid for the mower which Mr Barrett has been using to cut the grass at the park's formerly neglected pitch and putt course. He said: 'I asked if anyone was willing to match fund the purchase of the mower and there was an overwhelming response. The seller let me have it for £150 which left a tenner for petrol.'
Set up last year by Nigel Barrett and Shane Scarff, the team are back in action targeting areas in need of a make over. Cromer mayor Tim Adams labelled the pair guerrilla gardeners, after the popular movement to re-green neglected public spaces.
