Keep the faith Simon..........I am sure this can be resolved through negotiation.

Let us hope that common sense will prevail .

Thanks Den, let's hope so.

I've emailed your council, liked your facebook page and shared that on my facebook profile.

Have you tried contacting NSALG at all? http://www.nsalg.org.uk/ I know they help members and I dont know if your a member, but they may help or offer advice. And how about the Allotments Regeneration initiative http://www.farmgarden.org.uk/ari/, okay they specialise in regenerating allotments...but they may have an idea of where to turn next.

I'm glad you went and posted on GC about your predicament, it'll lend more support for your case, maybe join a few more gardening sites and make posts there too.

If there is anything else I can do to help, please let me know.

Steve...:)

I have also emailed Mr Swift-Hook and Mr Edwards. It will be interesting to see if they reply to any of us.

Thanks Squash. Yes, if they were to engage with just one of us that would be a start.

No reply to me as yet - Simon, how do you bear the frustration of it - it would drive me nuts!!

betula · « **Reply #108 on:** April 03, 2012, 17:40:55 »

It is strange that we elect these people to represent us and when they have their seats they do anything but.

I would have thought the leader of the council would at least acknowledge an email.........it seems so unprofessional not too.

Let us hope for good things and the council have the grace to talk to simon .

I have written to Nick Clegg with the facebook link asking him what he thinks of his party members acting in this way.

Unwashed · « **Reply #110 on:** April 03, 2012, 18:19:42 »

I have my stressful moments BarriedaleNick, but I make an effort to keep it in proportion.

Thanks for that Betula, I would really be interested to know what Lib Dem High Command thinks of this attack on my Article 10 right to freedom of expression. Then there was the resolution not to recognise the allotment society which I felt was an attack on my Article 11 right to freedom of association, and I'm arguing that the Notice to Quit is unlawful because serving it in place of the forfeiture breaches my Article 6 right to a fair trial of my civil liabilities, that seeking possession of my allotment is a breach of Article 1 of the first protocol as it is not in the public interest, and that resolving not to let allotments to people they don't like is discriminatory - all this from Lib Dems who are supposed to support human rights and equality.

Simon,
Added my support to your Facebook Campaign and also with sending off a couple of emails, good luck, :)

Simon, may we ask - what is it you want, exactly? Is it a new tenancy issued without strings?

cornykev · « **Reply #115 on:** April 03, 2012, 20:12:01 »

Hi Simon I have just emailed Julian. :-*

I would be happy enough to sign the new tenancy agreement, but what I want is for the council to be honest, open, and accountable for everything that has gone on since the formation of the allotment society four and a half years ago because without that calling to account the tyranny will continue. I made a stand on the tenancy agreement but there was and has been since very much more abusive behaviour at the Town Council and that is simply not acceptable in a public authority. If there was no underlying problem at the council then raising the potential unfairness of the tenancy agreement would have been welcomed - what honest and open parish council wouldn't want its tenancy agreement to be fair? The root problem here is not that the tenancy agreement was unfair, the root problem is that the town council didn't want the unfairness challenged.

Just a thought, but are any of the councillors up for election on May 3rd?

shirlton · « **Reply #118 on:** April 04, 2012, 07:01:41 »

I have just had a reply from Howard Bairstow saying that he would forward my email to the leader of the council. Lets hope this starts the ball rolling.

betula · « **Reply #119 on:** April 04, 2012, 08:32:45 »

Well that is something Shirl.............would be better if he could make some comment on the situation .
