Rosedale Road Report:

Rubbish that appeared at gate has now disappeared. Price of digger to remove rubbish from plot that is in a bad state is £140. Site manager to speak to plot-holder, as he has now started to plant in places.

Many thanks to R. Rivett and his wife, and K. Bacon for helping the site manager to erect the storage shed on the patio. (It was hard work)

R.Burkey’s plot has been strimmed by the site manager; he has now started to work it.

Most of the water pipes have been renewed, (also some taps) Fittings had to be purchased. Taps is needed at the end of plot no. 31.

The large strimmer has fallen apart (yet again). The head needs to be replaced with a stronger, different one. Agreed.

 

Bull Meadow Report:

There is an on-going dispute over boundaries.  This will be looked at during the inspection of the site.  The committee’s decision is final.

Any person with a grievance should either attend the meeting, or write a letter outlining the complaint so that it can be dealt with and not left to fester, causing bad feeling.

A plot holder left blighted tomatoes in all year. Please ensure infected plants are removed as soon as possible.

THE GATE IS STILL BEING LEFT UNLOCKED. PLEASE BE SURE TO LOCK IT. THANK YOU.
