Security Update

You'll see that the privet hedge along the alley to the right of the gate has been topped and trimmed. This was done, at our expense, mainly to encourage the hedge to thicken to deter possible vandals from trying to enter through it, but also to allow plotholders on adjoining plots to gain access to trim their side of the hedge.

The work to replace the fence along the edge to the left of the gates is likely to be starting on Tuesday 13-Dec or Wednesday 14-Dec, and should take about a week. A few panels will be replaced each day and no gaps will be left in the fence overnight. The trees and bushes behind the fence will have those branches that protrude through the fence clipped back. Only the very few self-seeded trees that are actually rooted in the public path will be taken down. The contractors will not need to come onto anyone's plot.

There might be slight parking and access problems during the work, but we'll try to keep them to the minimum possible.

Don't forget: the allotment side of any hedge on the plots is still the responsibility of the plotholders to trim and maintain.
