Self managed good or bad

[picman]

Seems there is a push by councils to get allotment committees to take on a self managed role , at first glance it seems a reasonable idea, but the devil will be in the detail, and the willingness of committee to take it on. I am no longer on the committee but would appreciate some feedback.

Avoid. There is the hassle of dealing with plot holders who think that one visit a year to their plot to pick blackberries is cultivation and the cost of getting overgrown hedges (and trees) pruned. That is my jaded. jaundiced view!

The problem is having to deal with plot holders that take the role of allotment police and eliminate people that they don't like .
