Allotment commitees

I reckon i am just going to have to pay up and get on with it,as with most council services the same level of service at treble the cost.

we had a committee, i was part of it, it was full of old boys who "just wanted to moan" so with the local councils assistants we no longer have a committee, just 4 nominated people who deal with enquirers, the council does the rest.Its been a much better atmosphere since, if anyone wonders, it was me who done the deed of dissolving it too, something that brings me a lot of praise(for some reason lol)

In Torfaen, we were the first borough to give self rule to the allotments. Each site had to set up an association, and each association had to be represented in one of two " groups ". North Torfaen and South Torfaen. It has worked perfectly. At the outset, each group had annual grants of up to £10,000 for works incluging fencing, water and pathways. I`m not sure what the rents are now, but when I was on site, I paid £3 per year.
