I live in a tiny hamlet;26 houses, 1 pub, 1 farm. There are 6 allotments, all taken, all with a shed and greenhouses/polytunnels. We have no Parish Council. My lottie is in another hamlet 4 miles away;33 houses. There are 26 plots, all heve a shed and a greenhouse and/or a polytunnel. It is run by the Parish Council. The rules are, 60% of each plot must be cultivated in any given year and the plot must be no more than 25% covered structures.
I will never be able to understand why people make life difficult for themselves or go out of their way to make life difficult for others.
Allotments need a greenhouse and/or a polytunnel to start crops and a shed to store equipment and sit in while contemplating the plot. It's called tradition. We have lost so much 'Britishness' because it may offend those not native to British soil. Must we also loose the British allotment tradition because of a few beauracrats with a superiority complex?
