Hi All
HELP please.
I have recently been served an eviction notice by our parish council over some barbed wire left on forty year old Herris fencing left by the previous tenant when he sadly passed some years back. I have been on the plot some years now and just got the allotment as I want it with soil in very good condition. Although I have informed the council that they let me the plot already breaching their own allotment rules and has such should remove it themselves. I have already involved the Local Authority's' Monitoring Officer but it seems they are all in on it. Biased and not impartial at all and one rule for their sycophants and another for the common gardener. I have photographic evidence from last year where three tenants didn't cultivate their land at all, another hasn't been for six months so the crops he did grow now lay rotting on the ground. Other allowed vigorous weeds to grow and spread their vile seeds across the whole plot while another pollutes her plot with large areas of carpet. Most plots on the site only utilise half the land available while two are 50-60% grass. The council and monitoring officer believe they have followed the correct due processes etc but I know that treating people differently, being biased, not being impartial and not seeking the best and most correct evidence etc breaches the Councillors Code of Conduct and the Seven Principles of Public life. The council ignored multiple breaches of their own allotment tenancy agreement, rules and regulations and turned a blind eye to that while using some forty year old, six-seven feet in the air, barbed wire to evict myself. I despair and loosing my allotment this way will break my heart. So much for justice and the democratic process.
