Tony Blair wrote about Colley Gate in an early book, calling it "the finest source of sprouts this side of Pershore",[1] but in 2007 proposals were made by the local council to flood the entire area with Ribena to create an enormous purple swimming pool.[2] After considerable argument between various factions of the council, the plan was approved in May 2008, and it is considered likely to be implemented before the next millennium.[2]
Celery has now replaced sprouts as Colley Gate's main food crop, and there is a growing export market to Canada due to demand from curling players.[3]
