Hi all.

Just wondered how many allotment holders here have received their policy review forms and if there was anything else that you thought should have been addressed in the form?

These forms were part of a policy review which took place last year and this form is part of the consultation process. If anyone has any concerns, questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me here or at

Have got mine, one question comes to mind if the outside hedges are allowed to be 6 foot high, how can the annual site inspections be satisfactory,
Unless of course the new allotments officer will be a giant or carries some step ladders around with him.

I think it was meaning the hedges around the outside perimiter of the overall site allowed to be higher (for security i imagine) but the hedges (where there are hedges) around individual plots needing to be smaller.

I'd just like to see the allotment office get the overgrown plots into cultivation, and if not, chuck people off so those on the waiting lst can make use, I reckon that ought to be priority before getting the tapemeasure to the hedges!

At Meersbrook allotments the hedges around the allotment can be 6ft, last year the allotments officer was on the back a van, peering over the hedges as he was driven up and down the lanes.

I think it is easy to say chuck people off for not cultivating their plot, but it would be great if our lives could be made easier by having skips on site to clear away the fly tipped rubbish!
Or even offer a service where they can (at a small cost) come and napalm your site to help get rid of the dreaded "Horse Tail"........

I hate that weed!!!!!
