A sad day but look on it this way. Someone else will be delighted to be offered your plot.

May we ask why?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

That really isn't fair  :( Hope you've signed up for your new area and get an even better one.

Sorry to hear that.  Hope you get going again really soon  :)
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

That is seriously bad PR - "this is how we look after people . . . "
I may be Welsh, but I love ewe anyway!

My shifts have changed at work meaning I will get far far less Lottie time next season, I did even consider that I would have to give it up which would break my heart. But I think I will be able to keep it on.

Small Holdings and Allotments Act 1908
Section 30 – where a local authority discovers that a tenant lives more than one mile outside the area for which the allotments are provided; the local authority can serve notice; and one month after any such notice the tenancy determines automatically, by effluxion of time.


I don't think that they really had the right to evict you if you only live metres outside the boundary !

Does seem a bit mean to evict you - this is what happened when my friend and I first looked at plots:  we found out that he couldn't have one in his name alone because he lived just outside the boundary (less than half a mile) but we could share a plot in both our names.  In the event that I might give up the plot at a later date, my friend was told that as his name was on the agreement, he would still be a tenant and would not lose the plot.
