There’ve been a number of problems of late, stemming from some people’s beliefs being seemingly contrary to the title of this piece, and they’ve taken up a fair bit of volunteers’ time to settle.
If anyone has anything that they don’t want on their own plot, either temporarily or permanently, then this must be taken off site. Problems arise, when a plot holder believes that something that they want may be stored on another – apparently to them unoccupied – plot. When a new tenant say, is shown that plot, they are offered it as seen, and may reasonably assume the stored item(s) to come with it. A dispute can then arise with the plot holder who was clandestinely using it for storage, and this has happened several times recently. If the things are unwanted on the other hand, then this is simply another form of fly-tipping.
All plots are either tenanted, or being readied for re-letting by PPAA volunteers, or subject to a dispute, where the Council’s position is to end the tenancy, but the tenant is contesting the matter.
PPAA Committee understand that most plot holders are well aware of these facts, but in the light of recent events it was felt that a brief article on the subject would be timely.
