Topic: Site Supervisor

[nodig]

I am a site supervisor of a self-managed allotment  and want to get someone I don't like off 'my' allotments.

My plan is to make up a lot of small issues against him at committee meetings, so as to build up the impression that he is a problem tenant.

After a couple of years I hope to find something real against him, and use this to attempt to get him evicted. (I expect the committee will take account of all the previous issues that I have invented against the plot holder).

My question is if the eviction is successful (based on the one real issue), will the plot holder be able to demand I provide evidence of all my previous invented issues (they will be on the minutes) if he takes it to civil court?

That sort of approach might work with a rubber-stamp committee, but not with one that was doing its job. The victim could use the record to argue a history of harassment and discredit you. This is essentially what I did when I was having trouble some years ago. My problem neighbours went round my plot making a shopping list of everything they fancied - much of this walked later - then went to the police and alleged that I'd stolen it all off their plot. I put a stop to it by pointing out that the previous year they'd tried accusing me of taking money from the petty cash tin. I don't know whether anything was genuinely taken or not, but there were a dozen people with keys, so why me?

This thread is a wind-up, isn't it?

Nodig I am very shocked & saddened at your suggestion of making up lies about someone just because you dont like them! If there are genuine reasons for the person being evicted then fair enough but to make things up is very very wrong

And who would write something like this as their first post?

While we are at it perhaps we should a have a seperate section for members who have been evicted from their plots, after all they are not really allotmenteers anymore are they.

I can probably guess who this is, shall I give out names etc, Jerry?

No.  If you do, it will be removed whether you're right or not.  It's up tio the OP whether he/she discloses his/her personal information.

I am allotment supervisor on our site and there are a couple of people who can be a pain in the ass at times but they still toe the line when approached - in the right manner, pointing out the 'error of their ways' against the rules and regulations.  What you are doing sounds more like a witch hunt and you could end up being the one who gets kicked off your plot if you go down this route.  Unless you do the same for all plotholders then the other party would have grounds for victimisation.

Sounds to me like you are not / would not be a suitable site supervisor if this is your approach when something does not suit or goes wrong.

That plot holder I was telling you about has gone and made a scarecrow out of old rubber boots, straw, mop head, tatty brown shirt and trousers, held together with bits of string.

Some people have said it bears a resemblance to me.

Well if he is having a joke I'll teach him, I'll report back to the committee tomorrow that he is dumping household waste on his allotment.

I forgot to mention that I left a message on his answerphone telling him I am taking it to the committee (the dumped household rubbish), just to make him sweat a little.

No, and I don't think it's half-term either.  Must be the sun or moon as Shirl says.

[pumkinlover]

My scarecrow is my avator- the head is made from butternut squash.

What does that say about me! ;D ;D ;D
