The maintenance of security fencing, walls etc., is, under the Local Management Agreement the Council’s responsibility. However, despite reminders from PPAA, owing to funding shortages, backlogs etc., this work has now been outstanding for some time.
Therefore PPAA intend shortly to use the services of an artisan waller to rebuild part of the wall with Llandaff Fields, where a quite large tree had fallen and damaged it.
It’s expected that all of the loose stone lying near to the wall will be required for this work.
However, PPAA Committee are aware that at least one plot holder had removed some of this stone to decorate a pond, although they’ve now kindly returned it, and PPAA Committee thank them for this. It’s understandable to a degree that someone could mistakenly believe that the stone isn’t needed, but that’s very much not the case, so could everyone please kindly not touch any of it – thanks all.
For the sake of avoiding any misunderstanding – engendered by inaccurate hearsay – we’d clarify that no one has been told by anyone that they can’t have a pond – quite the contrary – they’re very welcome for the wildlife that they support and for their pleasant appearance. Nor has anyone been told by any Committee member that their tenancy is threatened, nor that they’ve committed any offence in connection with this matter.
Another related matter is that there’s a temporary pile of plant matter – removed during plot clearance by PPAA volunteers – adjacent to the wall close by. Its removal and treatment involves significant expense and effort, and so all are reminded that we’re required to compost on our own plots or to remove from site our own such material, and that adding it to the said pile or to others would simply be fly tipping on Council property.
