project

[shirlton]

Well we had our liason meeting with the police and allotment owners. To be honest I came away feeling quite positive about things. An Allotment Watch has been set up in our area and is going to make it easier for alloment holders to keep in touch with each other and the police and council so that everyone has a clear understanding of whats going on in their area regarding criminal damage and vandalism on the allotment sites. We will keep you posted as to how it all goes., but I think its a step in the right direction.

Well the b*****ds paid us another visit on Monday night. Smashed the back panel of the portacabin. It's repaired and reinforced now and we have put up some pretend cctv.s. They will probably smash them an orl when they come again. Other than that the project is almost completed, Will post some pics later when I have resized them

Well they got in again last night and smashed the place up. Set off the fire extiguisher over everywhere. The garden tables and chairs had been thrown over the fence. Plants thrown about.The police came this afternoon and we now have to wait for the s.o.c.o. to come and see if they have left there grubby little finger prints anywhere. We were so sad when we got there this morning, Just wish I knew why they did these things.

Oh, Shirl, I feel for you. Grubby little unmentionables!!!

Feel so angry for you all.....

There really is no need for this type of behaviour, esp seeing all the hard work you have put into this project.

Hope they manage to catch them.

Our plots are opposite the project so we expect to be next on their agenda

Wasn't able to go to work on the project today cos my poor Tony was taken to Hospital this morning with quinzies. I had to stay with me mom while my daughter Sally went with him (she's a nurse) to Heartlands Hospital. Just had a phonecall from our chairwoman. The soddin vandals were there again last night. The portacabin was left open (waste of time locking it) They never touched that. Instead they burned down two scarecrows and then had a drinks party in one of the sheds. Wether this is in retaliation to the story printed in the Sutton Observer or not I don't know.

Hi Shirl. Have been away for few days, just catching up on posts. I am so sorry and bloo*y angry to read what the scumbags have done. Time for a vigilante team to be set up??
As if you haven't enough to deal with. Hope Mum is keeping as well as can be expected and would like to send best wishes that Tony will soon be back home. Take care.
