We have yet to see the minutes/notes so maybe we are misunderstanding what is going on? Jeffrey says min said:
"The garden working group have talked at great length about how to organize the garden and what to grow and issued invitations to the community members to attend meetings to discuss these ideas or to talk to individual garden group members about the garden and give suggestions. It was assumed by the garden group that if community members did not attend these garden group meetings then they were not interested."
The assumption that anyone who wanted a voice would attend a meeting is incorrect. We have deliberately left these decisions to those who will be living there. but we do care, are interested in gardening and plan to use the communal garden once we move in. but we knew the intention has always been there would be communal gardens for all to enjoy. We also know the idea of individual plots was discussed maybe three years ago. We remember because we orange or red carded the proposal and had some demands later to explain ourselves!
So we always knew there would be communal gardens and felt safe to leave the detail to those currently in residence.
We understand the proposal is that available garden space will be divided into allotments and given out to those, currently, who want them. so if our tenant or the new owners of A2 want a garden, or someone who has been allocated one wants to give it up, how would that be handled?
Tbh with no personal garden space we might as well quit now. regds roz and michael
