allotment rent
« on: July 18, 2008, 10:26 »
hi there again , our local council (hull city council) are currently assessing a rebate for our allotment keepers, we usually receive our plot bills in april
 
because of the flooding last year and the fact that the flood water was pumped onto the allotment site (NEWLAND AVENUE ), the council are still working out  the rebate and we are into july already,

though we are not complaining about the delay, even being considered for a rebate is a good thing ,

is anyone on this site getting any rebate from their allotment owners

They what[/b]?!? Never mind the rebate, they should be sued for damages! Seed potatoes don't come cheap, never mind the lost crops and wasted time! Natural flooding is one thing but pumped out water is hardly an 'act of god'  :evil:
I demand the right to buy seed of varieties that are not "distinct, uniform and stable".

all councils are  :evil: ours have now requested everyones name and address so they can inform us that if we get hurt on our plots we are not insured and we garden at our own risk but if some b****r comes to rob us and gets hurt they are  :twisted:

The world has gone mad!

How many people feel that the honest hard working person is getting stiched up like a kipper by the councils/goverment etc and the thieving lowlifes piles of sh*t are getting away with almost everything because they have had a hard life, so it's not their fault!!!!!!

Another effect of this 'problem' is that no-one is being thrown off the allotments for not paying rent. At Wold Road we have loads of overgrown plots which remain paid-up until the bills go out nad people then have one month to pay.

Aside from the fact i would like a second plot there are plenty of people who cant get an allotment because they are full! Whats more who want islands weeds everywhere?

Oh I think I started to rant  :o
