The bench I repaired has obviously accumulated in value as it has disappeared since last weekend. I can't fight the other plot holders, they are rotten to the core. Think I will ask for a plot on another site.
I really feel for you, Victoria. You have already put in so much effort and were excited about having an allotment. Another site sounds like a good idea away from constant set backs.
I know the bench wasn't mine to start with but it probably didn't belong to the person who took it either...
I went to look at some allotments nearer my house today. The area is not great (sorry if anyone lives there) but each plot is fenced off from the next and I wonder if that reduces on site incidents.
I was told there were incidents of theft and vandalism on site but it was always blamed on people breaking in. I've emailed the council to ask if there has been reports of padlocks being cut.
Oh Victoria I don't know what to say, you have worked so hard. I'll keep everything crossed for you that you can find another safer plot. WI'll you be able to bring home all that you have planted so far? Or will you keep going till you find another?

Thanks for your support Joyce

It's a sad fact of life, but I doubt if any allotment site is totally secure
Especially if the culprits are on the inside
Not to worry, it's just frustrating, it seems a bit personal but I suppose it could be happening to others but I rarely see any other plot holders.
Thanks scroggin. It saps the joy out of it as something seems to happen every week and I wonder what I'm going to find

I'll keep going BM, I'm made of iron
To be honest I kind of saw this coming, not that it makes it any better.
Bless your heart ?
