Recently there have been a number of examples of petty thefts, but also of cases where plotholders have felt threatened or intimidated by others.

If you have been the subject of theft or intimidation, please report this immediately to the Council, if possible via the website at www.richmond.gov.uk/home/services/parks_and_open_spaces/allotments/contact_allotments_team.htm or ring 020 8831 6110. Try and gather any evidence or reports from witnesses to help the Council pursue any transgressors and justify any necessary evictions.

We recommend all plotholders mark any portable items with their plot number.
