Until people on a;llotment committees start applying the rules, nothing will happen though. Imagine how easily it could be done were all plots cultivated. "It's a management problem, and nothing else".
I find your comment insulting.
Many people who manage sites are volunteers, often with full time jobs, doing a thankless job - as evidenced by criticism - when nobody else is willing to stand forward and be counted.
Yes, there are always ASBO tenants who do a little and are very difficult to get rid of as they always seem to do just the minimum to prevent eviction.
Yes, there are tenants who have bad seasons for completely understandable reasons as mentioned before.
Yes, tenants often put their name down on a list and wait years to get to the top, and then get an email out of the blue to take or reject a plot, and accept it in hope that they will manage it
Yes, there are site managers who don't seem to apply the rules consistently or at all, and won't give up when others have indeed offered to take the role on.
But please don't stereotype.
