l Coun Julian Browse said another allotment holder has had suffered a shed break-in and asked members to consider stepping up security.
He said all over the country allotments have high fences around them and allotment holders have keys to gates.

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 09:52 PMHere in Leicester our allotment is surrounded by a 8ft metal fence on one side and houses on the other 3,.We all have a key to the 12ft wide gate. As luck would have it one of our allotment holders is a policeman complete with dog who does the rounds at night.
