Unfortunately at times, we receive reports that fruit and vegetables are being stolen on the allotments.
As a committee we take this very seriously but are limited in what we can actually do about it.
The allotment rules state that all thefts must be reported to the police and an incident number obtained.
We will always take this action and search for witnesses and CCTV images.
You may wish to consider installing CCTV on your plot. If you do be mindful that the camera must cover only your plot and not any others.
If you see something suspicious then please report to the plot owner and to the committee.
Please remember that if you see fruit on trees then ask the plot owner for permission to have some – even fallers – rather than just taking. Don’t assume that you can just help yourself.
