No way would I be happy about anyone going into my shed. As long as the the structure of the shed and appearance is kept then there shouldn't be an issue I'm our sites sec. and I wouldn't be happy about checking everyones sheds etc.

I think we all have to remember that it's about GYO as long as our members use the plots to grow veg, fruit , flowers and it is worked then there isn't a problem.

Too many rules can cause more problems - must be lucky on our site as never seem to get any problems

The reason that I included that rule was to give our committee the power to sort out problems.
I dont think it will ever be needed, but u never know what people are doing.

Perhaps if we have this rule it will make people think twice, perhaps I could word it differently, "the power to inspect with plot holder present if allotment rules are suspected of being broken"?

Yes that might be a bit better. I'll have to dig out our rules, but I believe there is one along those lines which gives us the power to take ownership of the shed etc back if they fail to keep the plot up
