the family from hell were gone
I've just read this thread and admit I am somewhat shocked.Witness intimidation is a criminal offence, as has been pointed out already. The person who assaulted you had already been charged with the offence and it matters not a jot whether he was on unconditional bail or not and the police should have at the very least had words with him.The eviction notice, you say is not signed. Therefore, it is NOT legally binding.This committee have allotments, therefore they are tenants of the council, who are the overall landlords. The council have a duty towards their tenants.There is a little known law which (and I paraphrase here) means that the council are responsible for the actions and behaviour of their tenants and if they allow tenants to get away with bad behaviour, anti-social behaviour etc., then the victim of said behaviour can sue the council.I found that one out some years ago when my elderly neighbour and others in our street were being harrassed, threatened, our property vandalised by the family from hell. Just so happened that my neighbour's son was a Barrister. We organised a meeting for the whole street in our local hall. My neighbour's son kept quiet until almost the end of the meeting, then he spoke. Ever seen council officials, councillors and the police squirm, because they did.A few months later, the family from hell were gone. The threat of the whole street suing was enough to fire the council into action.I would think the same law applies here as well. Council's don't like people knowing about that law.Might we worth getting other allotment holders who have been bullied by this lot to stand together. One voice is weak. Many voices are strong.I wish you luck.
It will be very interesting to see if the Council can find my Lease dating back to 1968 as I have not signed any lease since ? has the rules or goal posts changed since ? YES THE RENT HAS GONE UP from 2/6pence to the present £50

YES THE RENT HAS GONE UP from 2/6pence to the present £50 Well bad news from the Council today after a 1 hour meeting putting my point of view a email received states( The Council is not a member of any Allotment Association and is not responsible for the decisions made by it. The Council has no power to make decisions on behalf of the Association or overturn decisions made by it) so if your assaulted on their land and your innocent the bad guy gets off and the eviction notice accusing you of telling lies Of the assault although the courts find the bad guy Guilty and is given a criminal record the Council don't want to know !!! MOB RULE GETS AWAY WITH IT

MOB RULE GETS AWAY WITH ITThey are just passing the buck. THEY ARE responsible for what their tenants, which include secretaries of associations get up to so what they're saying is a load of old horse manure! This secretary is a tenant of theirs and you should not have to be subjected to assaults, either physical or verbal from this person.Maybe it is time you went to the papers with this.
I think you need to talk to the other committee members. I the facts about the conviction and that the eviction notice is not signed.Appeal again the eviction.Go to the local paper. I am not sure that the secretary really wants his conviction all over the local press.

It should not come to that - but some fights are just not worth the anguish!) as posted by louise stella Thanks
Surely you have a right of appeal especially as the eviction is on grounds which are untrue.What does it say about the eviction procedure in your agreement?Are you sure these letters are coming from the whole committee or just from the secretary? What do the other members of the committee say. Have you pointed out to them the fact the eviction is not signed? Turn up at the next committee meeting.

Turn up at the next committee meeting.The knives are out for me, I sold one of my greenhouses and give permission for them to help themselves to my some of my leek trench soil which is two foot high and is held in with two foot high flag stones it has been built up over many years of soil conditioner, compost, manure, course sand etc. all that I purchased, this soil is been taken to a plot on the same allotments I had a visit from one of the committee informing me that is not allowed! I LOST MY RAG so I told him to pee off ! so I will be reported!!! OMG ( I do believe my plot is lined up for the present Bulling Secretary )
