Sunderland Council putting up allotment rents by 60%

Not WDSC!!!:evil::evil::evil:
Got my bill in for next year's allotment rent today.
From £52 last year 2018/19 to £84 for 2019/20.

A total f***ing disgrace - over 60% hike!!!
I will have to get onto the fuckers on Monday to sort this out.
 


Proper old gadgies game that mind!

Can’t remember the OP looking 85 when I met him.
I've had one since I was in my 20s man. Been making raised beds with my 7 year old all day. Great being out in the fresh air and plenty of food for the Brexit Armageddon :lol:

Mines gone up a tenner.

I was going to say: do you not have a garden. Then I realised the point of having an allotment.
 
£84 a year seems pretty reasonable tbh.

Thought it would cost 5 or 6 times that amount.

It's the principle of the thing though marra.
I have just checked my tenancy agreement, which states that the yearly rise will be limited to 5% - as it has done over the last 9 years.
But this 60% rise is taking the piss.
As I mentioned - I shall have a word with the council on Monday.

Thought you liked the principle of rich people paying their way.

It's the principle of the whole thing though.
The Council do absolutely sweet F.A. towards the upkeep of the allotments- it is up the tenants.
The gadgey who used to come round and spray the weeds around the perimeter fences even got paid -off, and I have only seen the Allotment Officer once in 9 years.
By the way, I can well afford it marra, but that's not the point.
- But the widow who has the next allotment to me has next to fuck all - so she's well pissed off - extra money she can ill-afford.:evil:

I'd be annoyed.

Although in my experience when someone is complaining for the principle of the thing they are normally hitching over something that doesn't really matter.
