That looks great, sadly our plots have tanks that we dip cans into so we don't have taps

I read today that this is the first time sports clubs and allotments have been included in a hosepipe ban.

Cricket pitches can be watered if leaving the pitch dry is going to make it dangerous to play.

Green badge holders are exempt.

Also, you can use a hosepipe to fill water troughs and drinkers for your animals.
If your fish pond has 'pet' fish in it you are allowed to top the pond up (for purposes of animal welfare) BUT you cannot top up a pond that doesn't have pet fish in, so all the newts (including rare ones), frogs, insects, wild fish and anything else that relies on that small habitat will just have to suffer!

(I very nearly threw my coffee cup at the telly the other day when the anglian water guy outlined that rule)

adopt a newt as a pet?

I am considering hiring out tiny goldfish for the duration of the ban. Can you borrow one ?

I'm going to lock this topic as it's turned into another 'general hosepipe ban' thread - rather than being about - Anglia Water are Not Turning On Our Allotment Water .
If anybody has anything relevant to this then I will be happy to reopen it for them


The general drought/hosepipe ban thread is here
