Stoney Road Gardens Association

The next round of plot inspections will take place in the spring. As demand for allotments grows, so the pressure on allotment associations to ensure that all their plots are fully cultivated also increases. Stoney Road has nearly forty people on its waiting list, but it's the same picture all over the country. Some local councils are now demanding monthly plot inspections or sending in their own officers, unannounced,  to make spot checks.

If you are finding it hard to look after your plot because of circumstances beyond your control (illness, family problems etc) remember that your committee is here to help, so please keep us informed. If the problem is likely to be a long-term one, any committee member will be happy to discuss this with you and suggest ways of helping you to continue with your tenancy if that is what you want. Large plots can be divided to make them more manageable. However, where the condition of a plot falls below the acceptable standard and the plot holder cannot provide a satisfactory explanation, a warning will be issued.
