Newbury Town Clangers are on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tywPBAs_4vM&feature=youtu.be). Not my doing, and I don't even know the people that made it, but jolly nice support.
-
WOW! :o some efford has gone to that..Brilliant! ;D
We just have to make more noise to get that noticed.
-
I have shared that bit of brilliance on my facebook.
-
;)
Fantastic! Someone clearly has a grasp of all the important points, wonder if some council official somewhere has got a bit of a red face?
-
Just watched it and think that it's brilliant!
-
thats brilliant, lets hope the council get to watch it hehe
-
Love it ;D Maybe someone should drop a line to the local rag, the people in the right place may see it then ;)
-
Thats great, lets hope someone in press sees it and comments on it.
-
... yes it is clever but Simon what happened to the Olive branch?
-
Not sure whether it is a ;D or a :o
-

I think Ellen has a good point there .
We all admire your stand Simon, and as you say it is not you who has done the video.
Yes they deserve to be ridiculed- but I am just a bit concerned that now is not the best time to do it?
-
That is very clever, hope it helps you Simon.
June.
-
No it wasn't you Simon - you can spell ;D
As others have said, excellent support, somebody has really worked hard on this. It all helps, just hope eventually it will be enough. Good luck!
-
I thought that was brilliant, maybe it will shake them up a bit & they will back off now.
-
Up to yet I dont think that the council have accepted the olive branch and it wasn't Simon who made the video anyway
-
I watched the film and had a good laugh. I don't see why NTC would be upset by it. The people who made the film are very clever and introduced a bit of light hearted fun into what has clearly been a difficult dispute.
Hopefully NTC and Simon would laugh at it together and bring the dispute to an end and leave Simon to enjoy his allotment in peace.
-
Witty, but certainly the odd spelling mistake and a few copyright infringements possibly?
-
My only concern was that NTC have not indicated that they possess a sense of humour! Maybe mine is lacking a bit today!
At the moment they seem to be leaving Simon to carry on gardening -I just hope they continue to do that.
Good luck Simon - missed the soup dragon though!
-
I'm still trying to understand the nature of Simon's olive branch - it seems to be that they leave him alone in his garden and he continues to slag them off on the internet.
And I am wondering if we all watched the same YouTube video - the one I saw was where Simon's parting words to the NTC were F**k Off.
-
But Simon did not put the vidoe on UTUBE
-
The olive branch is still there whenever they want to take it - I'll sign the new agreement and we'll all get on with our lives. If you've e-mailed my town councillors you'll know that the council have so far rejected the offer. On the 17th May it'll be two years since the council served me with the notice of forfeiture, and it's been two whole joy-sapping years, so given that eviction for arrears is the simplest of processess, and assuming for a moment that the council aren't utterly, knuckle-draggingly feckless and incompetent, that leaves just one possible explanation for the dispute having dragged on this long - the council knew from the start they had no grounds to evict me from the allotment I love, but they chose to bluff it out in order to victimise me and they expected me to go without a murmur. So the olive branch is still there, and the sooner the council accept it the sooner we can all get on with our lives in peace, and until they do, we can't. As it's always been, it's really rather up to them.
-
If you really want peace with the council, then that video is doing you no favours, is it?
So you should thank the originator for his/her support but ask them to take it down.

Hi Simon
I think the youtube film was funny and should be the finale to your long running dispute.
PS. did you get my emails about some court cases I found which seemed relevant to your dispute.
Kind regards Roger
-
More power too you as far as I'm concerned Simon.
I'm dealing with not dissimilar people myself, as you know.
Well done to whoever put that together too. I'll bet it brought a smile to your face...

Hi Roger, thanks for that, sorry I didn't reply. Yes indeed, I've followed those, all good stuff.

It seems that Newbury TC have recently voted that they reserve the right to exclude people from the allotment waiting list.

Yes, they did that so that I can never have an allotment again. Ever. I know that because within a couple of days of making the resolution the council wrote to tell me so. It's not lawful for a council to discriminate in this way, and a council also has a duty to let allotments to any parishoners who want one so they don't even have the ability to make that resolution, but then this is Newbury.

Simon, no problem here in Birmingham, all you have to do is move (http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-20494821.html?premiumA=true) - it's opposite our allotments. :)
-
You would be made very welcome Simon ;D

It's even convenient for the canal. :) Thanks Squash and Shilton, but they haven't got me off my plot yet. 8)
