That means they recognise the unlawfulness of the Notice to Quit and start talking to me about what went wrong, why, and how to make it right. It's not very helpful at this point to say what I think "right" looks like.

Good luck with what you decide and I really hope you get to keep your allotment.
My apologies, I am too harsh .... but don't lose your allotment over this.You have done enough: what you have said is in the public domain forever and you can't have much new to add.So sign the gagging order and keep your garden. :-X
Any news Simon ?
Newbury Town Council has reported an allotmnt holder for criminal damage following a dispute over the legality of his eviction.Wash Common resident Simon Kirby, who has been embroiled in a long-running dispute with the council over an increase in his allotment fees, last week refused to accept the legality of his eviction and removed the fence that had been placed around it.Mr Kirby said "they have no grounds to evict me, there has been no court order, and if the eviction is illegal, I am not doing anything wrong in removing the barrier around the allotment"The town council had a different opinion and reported Mr Kirby to the police.The leader of the council, Julian Swift-Hook (Lib Dem, Pyle Hill), said "the fencing was the council's property and had been installed as part of the legal process of taking possession of the plot following Mr Kirby's eviction."Mr Kirby's actions in removing the fencing and continuing to access his former allotment amount to criminal damage and trespass, we are advised, which the council has had no choice but to report to the police.Mr Kirby had neither been arrested nor charged, and no police action had been taken at the time the Newbury Weekly News went to press yesterday (Wednesday).Previously Mr Kirby had reported the chief executive of the council, Graham Hunt, accusing him of refusing to hand over minutes of a council meeting. After one summary hearing, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charge against Mr Hunt because it had not been brought in time.
Bloody hell Simon they are really out to get you.Shocking behavior >:(.
