"Getting our future back on the rails - slowly."

Background Information

A community has been discussing possible future uses for an area of land that has not
been used since the closure of a railway line. The local city council owns the land and is
considering proposals for its use. The Grow Slow Garden Group has proposed that the
land be used for the establishment of a community garden.
The leader of the Grow Slow Garden Group has produced a newsletter.

Before the council’s decision is made, this newsletter will be distributed
to every household in the local area.
