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!!!
Oh Bob, how really awful. This isn't the first time either, IIRC. I'm
so sorry to read of this. It's totally beyond me to understand what
brings people to the point of doing this sort of thing but all I can say
is they must live very miserable lives. One can't imagine them getting
very far in life, either. I should tell the Council jobsworth that you
expect them to contact all the allotment holders and that if they don't,
they put the Council at risk of legal action for not taking steps to
protect their tenants' interests.
Jobsworth rays!
