Fly Tipping

12/10/22

We are continuing to experience episodes of 'fly tipping' on our compost area. Please remember it is ONLY GREEN WASTE FROM YOUR PLOTS that is permitted here. It is NOT other members, and committee members, responsibility to clear up other tenant's rubbish. We are sincerely hoping OATS members are not the culprit(s). If you have any info regarding this, or can advise others the error of their ways, that would be much appreciated.

If this continues, we genuinely risk the chance of Crowborough Town Council removing the compost area facility from our site, and it will then be down to all tenants to remove and dispose of their own green waste. None of us wants that to happen!

We have been advised of another theft/vandalism on site. An apple tree has been dug up and stolen from plot 114.

Polytunnels

09/12/21

After a recent site visit, Crowborough Town Council have expressed their concern over the erection of polytunnels on our site by some tenants. These are unfortunately forbidden in the tenancy agreements. Tenancy descriptions are vague, so we are requesting clarification of what dimensions constitute a 'polytunnel' as apposed to a 'large cloche'. Until this is formally confirmed, we recommend members refrain from any further installations, or associated works and purchases. Thanks.
