hiya all.
I decided to try and do something about the allotments and im asking if people will complain to there local councillor and to the allotment office.
If your allotment site is in quite a bit of a mess like hagg house is then i urge you to do something about it.
the problems people are having with allotments is unreal,
HAGG HOUSE ALLOTMENTS:
Where there was a CAR PARK now is a JUNGLE, the council say there have no intension of re-doing the CAR PARK and there is no parking problems on hagg hill yet!!
maybe that's because they have never had to park up there, they prob done a drive by and thought sc**w that idea.
when you get an allotment it is up to you to tidy it up and make it secure. but if you ask them for help they say ''you signed for it you clean it''
quite a few people have asked the allotment officer to get someone to come and help remove the rubbish off a site but they wont help. then you get fined for dumping it somewhere else :loopy:
apperently you can have one shed and one greenhouse on a allotment, but if like me you wanted chickens i suppose you would have to put your chickens in with your garden tools because you cannot have 2 sheds. better tell that one to the rspca lol
most of the allotments on hagg house have trees in them so you have to build around them. you can get permission to cut them back but not cut them down. but when the council feel like it they come and cut whatever trees wherever,
it costs about £25 a year for you to own an allotment and about £250 on clearing it b4 you can use it lol
my reply i got from the allotment officer about cutting a tree was, ''if you can cut it without the help from the council then its ok''
You can also buy a key for the path so you can take your car's on but you would have to have a 4x4 jeep to drive on there.
RIVERLIN ALLOTMENTS:
apparantly riverlin allotments sounds desserted because of the state there in.
They seem to have a high vandalism rating.
They dont have allotment numbers on them so if you get maps your in for a ''raiders of the lost plot'' mission.
There are too many trees so you dont get a lot of sun light for your veg :(
It's a shame to let them get any worse, maybe if we all get intouch by phone and letters/email then they might do something about it.
Because soon whoever wants to take on a allotment will have to make a path to get to there allotment. plus remove all the rubbish thats on them and thats not fair.
if you are an allotment owner or have any problems with your site please post on here and let us know about it.
i look forward to hearing from you all.
