A food company has worked with the district council in a project to support biodiversity.

Moy Park, which has a base in Gonerby Road, has planted a hedgerow of 66 hawthorn hedges at Dysart Park, only a short distance away from the factory.

Zane Wojtowicz Health, safety and environment apprentice at Moy Park Grantham, said: “We’re committed to encouraging biodiversity in our local area, and we are delighted to partner with the South Kesteven District Council to support our local communities.
