Default Allotment Site inspection

Just a query for those with council, or indeed other plots. How often
are plots inspected by 'the powers that be'. Our plots have been
inspected once a year up until now. It will change to quarterly
inspections as well as increased rent.

Comments?


If the extra rent is to cover the cost of the extra inspections
I suggest you talk to your local councillor.

Ours are annual inspections but they obviously have been keeping an eye open
every time they come onto the site as people have rightly been given notice
to quit if they haven't been keeping their plots cultivated. Stupid to have
plots an uncultivated mess when there is a waiting list.
Increased rent? Ours are £87 per year for 10 rods with 50% concessions for
OAPs. No hoses allowed and other than water nothing is provided. How does
that compare?
