regarding ben....

I assume that it was a council owned site ? would love to hear the views of the police and the local council on this one as it makes the committee look a laughing stock for wasting police time. surely if the proper procedure was instigated ie 2 warning letters followed by notice to quit , then this farce would never have happened. this programme was complete drivel & has done allotment gardening few favours , except maybe to reduce a few waiting lists , but for the wrong reasons.

Maybe though in some ways prospective allotmenteers need to stop thinking allotment life is only ever idyllic.

Maybe they need to be given a more realistic picture (Not that allotment wars was in any way a realistic norm).

Maybe this way there will be less frequency of newcomers lasting only a short time
