Simon has stood up to them for so long. Not only for himself but for all of the allotment holders in Newbury. They should all have backed him. Sad to say some folks don't have any backbone. Its just a case of "Yes Sir" "No Sir".
I  feel very priviledge to count Simon as a friend and I know that most of the folks on here feel the same.
He is a man who fights for what he knows is right. We could do with a few more people like him in the world.

Well said Shirl.

No Jonny211 I am not but I have first hand knowledge of Simons stand against folks who think that they can ride rough shod over folks.
When I get old I don't want people thinking

I'm so sorry to hear that.
Many of us have had  help from Simon and it  a very sad  affair.

Sad for you Simon.............

Sad for Simon - yes but he has made a well reasoned decision. Better to safeguard his health and pocket rather than work himself to a stand still fighting when the other side has the finances and legal advice behind them.

It would have been too risky.

Well done Simon - you tried oh so hard on other peoples behalf.
Be proud. I know I would be if I were you.

Thanks Guys.  I'm sure I'll pop in from time to time, but Newbury have told me that I won't ever be getting another allotment from them so that's kind of it for allotmenteering for me.  I did what I felt I needed to and I don't regret that.  Cheers, Simon.

You may not be offered your own allotment but you could still help with friends/neighbours plots.  Maybe even offer to cover the holiday season.  They can't stop you from visiting or offering a helping hand when needed.

Failing that you could move and have an allotment at Walsall Rd where you will be more appreciated. Please don't leave A4A because you have so much knowledge ot share with us all

Hope you are holding up OK Simon.

Go on holiday or something.  Sometimes, I think my garden means more to me than it should.  There is a whole planet to explore out there, why spend so much time on 250 sq m of it ?

Sorry to here you've had to give up the fight, stupid vindictive council wins  :'( :'( :'(

Don't leave us though you'll be missed, I'll second taking a holiday from it all but how about a landshare in the future?

Good luck and loads of fun whatever you do :)
A space? I need more plants......more plants? I need some space!!!!
