The new agreement (PDF) for Tameside (Greater Manchester) for example highlights this new plot use clause:
For the purposes of excluding compensation for improvements under section 47 of the Small Holdings and Allotments Act 1908 the Tenant must not plant on the Plot: (a) standard or other fruit trees permanently set out; (b) fruit bushes (c) strawberry plants; (d) asparagus, rhubarb, and other vegetable crops which continue productive for two or more years. (5.11)
This is surely an unfair term and could be challenged as being against the spirit of the allotment act? What ??? have an allotment but don,t plant fruit and veg this nanny state has gone crazy. Who are these people that put pen to paper in such a ludicrous form, please stand up and let us see you ??? Or shall we just accept what you as well educated people say !!!!
I DON'T THINK SO.
