Theft of produce

The Committee has received reports of people helping themselves to fruit from trees that don’t belong to them. We’d like to remind you of the following rules:

Members will:

  • Respect each other’s property: not take, receive, destroy or damage the Association’s or another member’s property or produce.
  • Not enter any other plot (including side paths) without permission.
  • Supervise children and guests. Plotholders are responsible for the actions of any guests they bring to the site.

And please remember to always lock the gate, even if you’re only visiting for a few minutes.

If anyone observes suspicious behaviour or thefts of produce, please do report it to the Committee via our contact form. If tools or valuables go missing, please report the matter to the police and let the Committee know the crime number.

URGENT: Help Keep EWAA Growing!

Love your plot? Enjoy the peace, the produce, the people?
Without volunteers, the allotment cannot survive.

YOUR ALLOTMENT NEEDS NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS NOW
Without your help, we face an uncertain future.
Management, shop, events, maintenance – all depend on VOLUNTEERS

Step Up & Make a Difference!

 We’re looking for new committee members to help:
✅ Keep the site open and maintained
✅ Organise membership
✅ Run the shop
✅ Attend bi-monthly Committee Meetings

Several of the current committee members have been volunteering for many years, and will stand down at the AGM in October.

Hosepipe restrictions

Thames Water has set restrictions on water use from Tuesday 22nd July until further notice. No hosepipe use will be permitted on the allotment site other than by members who are on the Thames Water’s PRIORITY SERVICE REGISTER (for reasons of disability, chronic illness, etc).

If you intend to use a hosepipe for filling water containers through the period of restrictions, please contact the membership secretary via the contact form so that the Committee has a record.

Skip & disposal of rubbish

Skips are expensive to hire – the one on site in June cost almost £500. The Association can’t usually afford more than one per year. All plot holders have a responsibility to keep the site tidy:

  • Organic waste (grass clippings, leaves, etc.) should ideally be composted on your plot.
  • Whenever possible, take your rubbish home and dispose of it with your domestic waste, or at Redbridge recycling centre.
  • DO NOT bring your household rubbish to the site.
  • DO NOT dump rubbish anywhere on site, including outside the Shop.

Please keep in mind the difficulties of waste disposal when considering whether to bring things that are “bound to be useful” to the site – either you or subsequent plotholders will have to deal with them at some point!

The accumulated waste outside the Shop is being managed by the Committee. Please do not disturb or add to the separate piles.

If you have any questions, get in touch with the committee via our contact form.

Please take your rubbish home, help keep this site clean

The skip is now full!

Please do not bring any more items for disposal – take any rubbish away with you, either to your domestic bins, or your nearest waste disposal site. If you have any items which you think might be useful for someone else, please advertise on social media – do not leave outside the shop!
