Hello to all on Craven Vale allotments,
I have just responded to a letter from the Police left on my site regarding break-ins in the area. I have had some things stolen from my site, and last w/end a motorised scooter zoomed by us on our way down from the plot to the Beresford Road gates. The PC I spoke to said there is a massive hole in one of the fences to the site and people are getting through very easily. Do we have a maintenance chap for the site? Or perhaps a society for that site whereby we can all chip in and get the fence fixed? I'd be very happy to chip in, it does feel horrible going up there sometimes and not knowing quite what to expect or dscover what has gone missing.
