I have been notified that the annual inspection is in the first week of September. That gives us 3 weeks to prepare. If you have not yet trimmed your hedges down to the required height please do so over the next couple of weeks. The council expects to see at least 50 percent of each garden under cultivation. If there is a reason this has not been achieved on your plot I need to know. It is very important that I can tell the inspector what is happening to each plot and its history this enables us to keep our rental rebate. Please contact me ASAP with your reasons for non cultivation where appropriate.
