I'm turning into one perhaps.
My allotment site is owned by the council but run by the committee - I'm on the committee.
Committee has done a good job (IMNSHO) of turning the site into something that equates to a well run site that has social stuff for those that want, some regs to keep things shipshape and a community that has a good percentage of people willing to do a bit extra for the good of the site as a whole.
Lovely.
However, every year it would seem that 1 or 2 in 50 of the plots end up being a pain the the backside. I'm not really willing to put up with it anymore so I either resign from the committee or we tighten up rules and enforce them *exactly* the same across the board. Perhaps, apart from Abyssinia and WW2 and many other things, Mussolini had it right - I just need to get the uniform when we do plot inspection.
We did a walk around today and there are maybe 10% of plots that need to be sorted. Many have let us know that they have family issues / health problems but its always those who do't tell us anything that kick off. Anyhow rant over - I think I've just gone from being Mr Nice to Mr Nasty.
Any advice from others?

Of course I reported it to their Secretary who told me he would make inroads to get that person chucked off. Dammed right, sez I.
