Allotment Burning And Fires

24th Apr 2020 by Dogbury

Hello everyone

I hope you are all well.

Please take note of the message below that I have received from the council.

Do consider whether it is appropriate to have bonfires or barbecues on your plot. If we receive any complaints from our neighbours or from the council we will have to review the Association position on bonfires and barbecues.

Stay safe

Dave
Secretary
Old Park Farm Garden Holders Association


Dear Allotment Associations,

I am writing to you today as we have been having a number of complaints into the Council about Bonfires on allotments and also to inform you about potential rent reductions to Associations.

We would request that your tenants follow the guidance below from the Nsalg about bonfires:- Bonfires and BBQs – Could those Associations who allow bonfires all year round ask people to consider their neighbours and not burn anything during this Covid 19 emergency. Many sites are surrounded by houses where vulnerable people may be getting their only bit of fresh air through an open window. This consideration also applies to BBQs.

The Council is also looking into a rent reduction for both Direct-let tenants and Associations. The level of discount will be confirmed once the lock down has ended, we would ask Associations to consider and let us know how their discount will be refunded to their tenants.

Kind regards
Jo Tarrant
