Default Allotment security

The speed at which neighbours spotted the kids probably saved any

The police were amazingly fast - dialed the 101 number as I have a
problem remembering the local number. Costs 15p but she put us through
to an emergency reponse. Wasn't quite quick enough though but was nice
to see a fast response anyway!


Have you asked the local council to install cctv? Long shot but they might
agree. Might get a grant for it. Ask them, they can only refuse or accept.

I have had financial assistance with home security, and I don't see why it
should be different for a council allotment.

We have CCTV on our house that can see part of the site - but it just
doesn't work in the dark very well!

The idea of a spot light on top of a guard tower came to mind.

We've got to go self-managed so it'd be us funding it. We need most of
our current and immediate future funds for paying for the legal work
to go self-managed so no immediate money for anything.

Can't apply for grants until we have lease for the land.
