Keep safe and secure on the allotments!
Some allotment holders have recently suffered break-ins to their sheds and damage to their property. We always advise plot holders to not lock their sheds, and never keep anything of value such as power tools in them.
We are doing all we can to keep the allotments secure. So far in 2016, we have replaced the top gate, and have changed all the locks to reduce the number of keys in circulation and to make sure that only current plot holders can access the site. We are also working with the Town Council who have responsibility for the gates and the fences to make sure they are in good condition.
If you do suffer any crime on the site, such as theft or criminal damage please do report it to the police. The police won't act unless the victim directly reports it. They will not be able to act if the Committee reports it on a plot holders' behalf.
You can report a non-urgent crime by calling 101 where you will be put through to the central control room. You can also now report a crime online using this link https://report.police.uk/.
If do report a crime to the police, you can also notify the Committee and the Loughton Neighbourhood Police Team by using the form below.
