Had to call 999 twice this afternoon as three lads were trying to gain
entry to the site. The police caught them, they say so I am hoping all will
still be in one piece tomorrow. Three cheers for the boys and girls in blue.
This is the second time they have caught people recently. I hope I'm not
pushing my luck writing this lol


Well we have had several problems on our site, but since the last fracas
where a group was escorted to the gates by one of our plotholders where
a scuffle ensued and they stole his keys..

However he chased them (he rides a bike everywhere so is pretty fit)
across several streets and luckily the police who were by this time in
'pursuit' by car, passed him and managed to corner 3 of the 4 of them..

By that time of course they had no keys on them..

We're also liasing with the school concerned and local residents
assoc... We actually have 'community officers' patrolling through the
allotments as opart of their rounds during lunch breaks now..

We haven't given up despite the council saying there's no money to fix
the gaps in the fence etc...


Mind you since then and the last shed burning down its been all quiet
touch wood. Though the fire brigade weren't impressive saying they
couldn't open the gate as they didn't have a key.. (Its a standard
FB2!!-) Doh!!! I think they just didn't look!
