the council your landlord and the committee manages the site on behalf of the council, Yes,I was given notice to reduce my compost area by 66% and repair a shared /party Fence which my new joining plot holder agreed it was as a shared fence and was sound and satisfactory but the Sec put the problem in my court and give me three weeks to sort it out(in winter months) the committee decided to inspect a week early and give me a eviction notice and thirteen days to clear the plot and return the entrance gate key, a case of bypassing the Eviction Committee Guide Line Rules
Sounds as though you've got them on the run, Vidcare!

Put in a formal complaint about the creep. If that doesn't work, contact a local councillor with a copy of the letter.
It's probably time to go you a councillor. If that doesn't work, try either your MP or the local press. Having been on the recieving end of an assault will put people on your side.
The allotments are not council-managed, they are self-managed on a three-year lease. The council certainly could intervene, but councils don't like to address injustice in their own services, so I think it very unlikely they'll want to get involved in something that isn't directly their affair. It's the old problem of holding a committee to account - some of the site will side with the bullies, and the rest won't want to get involved.Vidcare, is the association a member of a wider federation? If they are you might possibly get some support there, though don't hold your breath, these can sometimes be managed by the same clique.I think your redress is through the site association, but they may well fob you off unless you can find someone to advocate for you - a local council might, or someone from Citizens Advice.
Does your MP not hold regular surgery's where you can go along and speak to them in person without all that letter writing/emailing.
Good for you getting the police ,some people think they can do what they like a power rush to there head ,good luck Vidcare don't let them get away with these bully boy tactics you must be getting to them, when one of them got viollent!
