Committee Update
As the letter from Meopham Parish Council shows, there has been strong support for a self-managed Meopham Allotments in the past. The survey of members that we conducted in April demonstrated that there was strong disagreement with the six reasons stated by the Council for assuming management of Southdown Shaw on 1st April. The results of this management are for all to see - 36 plots are 'wastelend' and a further 15 are not fit for purpose.
Water usage
Members will be aware of local restrictions on the use of hosepipes in domestic settings. Our water supplier is Everflow and, at the the moment, no formal constraints are placed on water use by MDAA members. Naturally, we expect members to continue using water responsibly, perhaps using our 'Soil Moisture Forecast' tool.
