Hi Simon,
You really helped us with our allotment problems and if there is anything we can do in return please let us know. We feel for you matey keep fighting while ever you can, it really is not fair to allow bullies to behave in this way and get away with it. Good luck

Home for lunch. Went over first thing this morning to find they'd fenced it round with that orange plastic fencing hung on road pins, so spent five minutes pulling that down. You'd think we were living in a police state. They really need to start talking to me, this is a totally discraceful way for a public authority to behave.

It sounds pretty silly to me. Was the plastic fencing supposed to do something other than make a statement?

They sound very petty to me.

So when did that happen and which public employee got paid weekend rate or overtime to do it? ::) ::) ::)

No more drama this evening. Went over with the photographer from the Newbury Weekly News to get some shots of the crumpled fencing.

Many thanks for all the good vibrations coming my way, they surely helped, and very many thanks for the support you have shown on my Facebook campaign page - http://www.facebook.com/NewburyGrowingPains

Grow some Peas up the orange fencing thats what using mine for. ;)

No more interference today. Newbury Weekly News is putting someting in the paper this week I think.

Time for the Council to start talking to me I would suggest - and the council visit regularly so they'll see what's being said.

If anyone felt like e-mailing any of my local councillors encouraging them to discuss a just resolution to this long dispute their e-mail addresses are here: http://www.newbury.gov.uk/councillors.php

Julian Swift-Hook is the (Lib Dem) leader of the Council, and Adrian Edwards is one of my (Conservative) ward councillors.

Would it be a good idea for someone on here to draft a letter that we could all put our name to. I am not really any good at putting stuff down on paper.

betula · « **Reply #96 on:** April 02, 2012, 21:31:26 »

I have emailed Julian.I have asked that they reconsider pointing out that we can not gag everyone who happens to disagree with us.

Hope everybody can do the same :)

You're a star Betula.

Sorry Shirl, I don't know where to start. Maybe something like "Dear Julian, Newbury Town Council is evicting Simon Kirby because he didn't pay what he claimed to be an unlawful rent increase. He didn't pay the increase because you wouldn't discuss the fairness with him, and he's criticised you and the town council publicly about that because you called him vexatious and tried to shut him up. Maybe Simon was wrong about the tenancy agreement, he's not a lawyer, he's just a bloke with an allotment and a social conscience who's concerned to see that his fellow allotmenteers get a fair deal from their town council, and even though losing his allotment would be a blow for such an enthusiast he felt even more strongly that it was important to assert his rights. Don't you agree that the best way forward is for you to cut Simon some slack for standing up for his plot buddies and let him garden his allotment in peace, and then work to resolve this issue through negotiation?"

betula · « **Reply #98 on:** April 02, 2012, 23:32:49 »

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

Let us hope that common sense will prevail .
