Our atention has been drawn to issues here by a campaigning local resident.
Informed that someone has been dumping rubbish on the site I swung into action. Not only do i require an immediate tidy up (cardboard boxes and nappies are not a great advert for our society or the allotments) but also that we look at ways to make the site more secure.
Andrew and I will be having another of our regular meetings (especially if he is paying for the coffee!) soon and need to discuss Community safety Fund Expenditure. it may be this could be the answer.
So there you have it. No consultants, no telling how to do our job (after 22 and 8 years we have both put in) just: local resident alerts us to a problem, instantly contact the officer to request immediate action, to be followed by proposals for prevention in the future. Of course how soon the creaking Guildhall machine swings into action remains to be seen, but we will be vigilant
