Sounds like a massive pain in the arse.
I was at ours yesterday and chatting to one of the old boys who's on the committee who was telling me about the meeting next week.
We've got plots going spare and starting to get overgrown. There's also the plots that are taken but left unworked.
The plan is to cut back and get some wildflower seeds down on the unused plots so they look a bit better.
We've got one plot where everyone dumps their rubbish and every so often there's a bonfire to get rid of it all!
grm
@edmundro
We pulled 5x 1m builders bags(the big fuckers that sand/ballast etc come in) of dumped rubbish from our plot. It’d be vacant for nearly 10yrs so had become the communal dump for the site. Obviously this was under all the brambles so we had no idea how bad it was til we hacked our way in.
The council won’t provide a skip or any refuse collection at all for the plots even if we offer to pay. Apparently I can use a private waste contractor and they’ll credit it against my rent. Absolute madness.
If I was a bastard I’d drag it outside the gate a few yards where it’d be collected within a day or two as fly tip no questions asked.
We have numerous ‘Santa’ plots on our site: they only visit once a year the day before annual inspection to wave a strimmer around and plant 3x tom plants from b&q that will be dead a couple of days later.
Those fuckers seem to get away with it but productive plot holders will get shitty emails if they neglect to strim enough in summer.
