Default Allotment guide - basic draft 1

Sheds are a bane of my life, we had no vandalism or break-ins until
new gardeners all started putting up sheds. They are like a magnet to
the villains and we now get regular visits from them. A small trailer
is much more sensible, often cheaper, and can be used for carting
manure too.


On the site where I have just acquired a half allotment there are brick
buildings, which they let instead of allowing sheds to be erected on the
plots. Look like a few rows of toilets. The wooden doors are regularly
broken open despite the whole allotment site being enclosed by a 3m high
fence. Very sturdy gates too with very sturdy locks. Makes me wonder who
has a key to these locks who should not have them.
Despite this, and having 2 of 3 allotments re-claimed, one chap has moved
his 10' by 8' shed to his legal plot. I must admit it is not near my plot,
but who gives permission?
Rules are rules, for one, and not the other it seems.
I aim to change that for these unfriendly, obnoxious people.
