Showing Prospective Plot Holders Plots 11A & 3A

This google earth photo dates back to the 19th July 2013 which was in my first full year on the allotment site. As can be seen trees were well established on both plots 3A and 11A. 

Two years ago the trees were cut down by John and Wally once the two plots became vacant. 

The council failed in the task of grinding the tree roots out and clearing all the debris off the two plots in late 2024 and after asking idverde for a favour have acknowledge that the scope of works left uncompleted is too much of a stretch to ask for as a freebee, and asked for a formal quote and have appointed Idverde to sort out the fly tipping in the car park that their own nominated contractors left. 

We are still awaiting the collection of debris on plot 3A to happen, which is part of the quoted works, but the site gets looked at tomorrow. I will be chasing the head of parks regarding the trees stumps and roots that remain, but I think it will be unlikely to happen because the council is inept, and could not organise a booze up in a brewery.   

See my article Defining Cultivation & Recovering Plots written in October 2024 

This afternoon I showed a tenant on the list plot 11A and tomorrow morning I have another tenant to show plot 3A. The other person on the waiting list dose not want to view the last remaining plot, they have just said yes they will have it, and once the paperwork is complete and they have paid their rent then I will meet them to give them their key and make them aware of the probationary period and the expectations in the first three months and the remainder of the year.

It looks as if someone has started laying woodchips at the far right corner of the car park.
