whats the feeling on the allotments tricky....are you getting support from them or are they not too bothered?

[lynda66]

tricky, have you had any further communication with the paper, or calendar??

[tricky]

not had anything lynda from either , only the letter i posted on this thread the other day
as for your answer kiwi i am getting some response ,and there seems to have been more activity on there ie new bits of ground freshly dug over , everbody wants to say hello to me when im walking around there .

[lynda66]

might be worth you contacting them tricky, they may be a lot more interested now they know the council has lied ...... after all they did print a 'direct quote'

[Gauckwin]

Tricky, is it wise to be visiting / removing stuff from your plot.
Could the council interpret your visit as trespassing, ( your 7days notice has expired) or worst still interpret your removal of stuff as an indication that you have given up on getting your plot back.

What ever the future holds for you and yours, I wish you loads of luck and good fortune, and i will continue to support where ever i can.

I've just emailed the Editor of the paper, and commented on the news page again.

[lynda66]

come on folks, please keep going ....... we can't give up now, have emailed the NSALG woman now she's back off her jollies, so just waiting for a reply.

I put a comment on friday on the webpage again - we need a huge blast of more comments from the original people who commented to get the numbers up again...I've had no response to any of my emails, as I put on the webpage I think they are just waiting for it to go away.I suspect the paper has been told to drop it - and if the comments stop then they won't have any choice but to do so.

Been back on to harangue the paper again. Why are they prepared to let themselves be used?

I named and shamed Phil Hotchin over there, he is the guy Tricky spoke to today.
