KENDAL town councillors agreed to give a £ 500 honorarium to the widow of the council's allotments inspector, Ralph Lisle, who died recently.
Councillors stood in a minute's silence in memory of Mr Lisle, 75, who retired to Kendal ten years ago.
Coun Robin Yates, chairman of the allotments committee, paid tribute to Mr Lisle, describing him as a knowledgeable and very practical gardener.
It was decided to make the honorarium because the work Mr Lisle did for the council was not pensionable.
