Each plot holder, under their Tenancy Agreement is entitled to:
- Their plot, as seen when they were shown it.
- To use the access tracks and partition paths, so far as necessary, to access their plot or other entitlements.
- To use the water supply.
- To use the car parks for that purpose.
- To do any other thing expressed or implied as permitted by their Tenancy Agreement, but only to the extent allowed by its terms, e.g. to bring a dog, on a lead, onto their plot.
If they’re a full member of the Pontcanna Permanent Allotments Association, having paid their five pounds annual subscription, then they’re also entitled to:
- The use of manure when available.
- The use of wood chips when available.
- To enter the draw for a bed in the communal poly tunnel.
All tenants are automatically basic members of PPAA at no charge, and are therefore entitled to:
- Vote at AGMs
- Stand as PPAA Committee members
- Use the shop facilities and Plant Sale as and when available. (Notwithstanding the present wording of the Constitution, PPAA Committee have said that everyone can use these.)
- The use of any other PPAA benefit that’s intended to be for all e.g. the bring-and-take point.
An important point about the narrow paths between plots is that they’re composed of part of each adjoining plot. So in principle, if anyone goes on these when they don’t have a purpose for access, then they’re on someone else’s plot without either their invitation or other authority. Many plot holders will understandably be suspicious if they find someone who’s not a near neighbour on their path, and may well react accordingly. So if anyone’s curious – as many of us are – about what someone else is growing or how, then it’s best to observe from the wide, Committee-maintained trackways only.
