The local Gazette are involved but let's get as many complaints in as possible.

Yes it's a disgrace. I think as you say it may be sorted a bit better for Pat now.

I think his fellow allotment community have come to his help.

Pat is lovely guy out of the old Commando mold..... and I wish him well in this battle.

Thanks for signing Pete.

It would seem that Witney Allotment Association have now backed down and Pat Churchill may keep his plot.

The allotments have been administered by the Allotment Association since 2012. The Town Council no longer has any involvement in the day to running of the allotments or in tenancy agreements and we do not hold waiting lists.

Obviously a tenancy agreement is in place between the WAA & the gentleman and a set of rules to govern it. Following the rallying of the community to help him cultivate his allotment we understand that the WAA have agreed he can keep half a plot which will be more manageable for this gentleman.

A small group of volunteers have come forward to offer to help maintain the allotment which is brilliant news. Witney has a great community spirit and people who are often able and willing to help.

It is good to know that we, the Commando Family, can all pull together when the occasion demands - it reminds me of a saying we are all familiar with, [b]"United We Conquer"[/b]...

Can you find out details of the No.4 Commando family and point them in my direction please - I would like to make sure I have his name on our nominal rolls...


Many thanks,
