Went down the allotment site yesterday for a few veg for dinner and was
confronted by the site of all the sheds on the site being broken into,
doors or what's left of them flapping in the breeze. To get to the sheds
they had smashed rabbit fences and gates. Luckily with no shed we only had
big footprints in the soft earth were I had already dug as they walked
across our plot.
Luckily I spotted a cache of stuff hidden by the gates and took it home
after advising the Police.
Spent the rest of the day dealing with the Police, a SOCO, putting notices
on all sheds for the Police, and advising as many plotholders as I could
by phone or personally. Still today I've had to go down to the site again.
Yet the Council can't give me contact details of all the plotholders
because of Data Protection!!!

I think you are just tooooooo polite calling them 'villians' :-((

The Council are of course correct in not giving out the plot holders contact
details BUT now is an excellent opportunity to have 'someone' (you?) to
collect those details and use them amongst yourselves. Call yourself a
'Membership Secretary' if you like and you can collect the details and you
can then contact members as required. You will NOT be contravening the Data
Protection Act as long as you act in the manner described.

Hope that helps
