my own Countdown

[out in the cold]

I am gutted for you AP.

Let's hope your councillor says more than his prayers.

[KittyColdNose]

Oh AP, that is not good news. After all the hard work you put in and the Sheriff's previous comments. Bloody minded council at work.

[Aberdeenplotter]

I'm lost for words Ap - printable words But have a Big ((((((Hug))))) anyway.
Is there any way that you can give in gracefully and retain your allotments?

Council want rid of someone who was prepared to stand up to them. I've emailed my local Councillor who is leader of the ruling group on the Council and reminded him that he said they would not allow me to be evicted. Council Officers can just laugh at the politicians which is a sad reflection

[Samurailord]

Really sorry to hear that, AP.

It all sounded so positive but just goes to show that you never really can tell.

Feel for you bud

[Aberdeenplotter]

Right guys. At resumed hearing today, despite everything that was said by the Sheriff Principal at the last hearing, he rejected my appeal and I will have to surrender my allotments.

The bottom line is that in Scotland, a Local Authority can give 12 months notice to an allotment tenant for no reason irrespective of how far they are in the wrong about rent and about any other factors.

I am gutted.

Hi Matey, appeal hearing resumes on Tuesday 23rd April. It was looking really good when it was adjourned last time so I'm hoping this can finally be put to bed but not even thinking about counting chickens.

No need AP.

There is a thread in the chicken fanciers section that is doing that for you

Fingers crossed

Hi AP, is there any update to this yet?

I was telling my dad about the hassles you have had the other day.

[Aberdeenplotter]

I have missed most of this AP but good luck - my fingers are crossed for you

I wish I'd missed all of it matey.

[Sheneval]

I have missed most of this AP but good luck - my fingers are crossed for you

[veggiechicken]

I'm confident on your behalf - so no need for you to worry AP

[Aberdeenplotter]

Ta matey. I'm as confident as ever I've been. Just trying not to be overly so.

Appeal hearing reconvenes Wednesday 20th March at 10.30am.

Good luck Pal.
