Change in Allotment Management
Thanks to all who came to EGM - you should have seen the responses from
Allotment Dept and BDAC notes on website.
It remains a mystery why someone thinks there is a done deal - nothing
could be further from truth. Petr Short has indicated a date for 31st March to complete consultation -
this is because he has been obliged by his manager[s] however, this will be
flexible just as a fixed date for the management agreements became. One of the most obvious questions was "how much money was to be
devolved?"
I have asked that associations be given this information - this will be
forthcoming - it is a guidance only that can be sent as far as the Alllotment
Officers are concerned because of variable factors - councillors being
one! continued >>>>

The Birmingham and District Allotments Council (BDAC) are a voluntary body which works to ensure that allotments across the City receive the best service for allotments holders and associations. We work with allotment associations, allotment holders, City Allotment Officers and City Councillors for the benefit of allotments.
We support allotment associations with advice and information which enables them to carry out their tasks.
We act as an active 'watchdog' to ensure the City provides the maintenance and repairs for allotment sites.
We play an active part in influencing allotment policy so that any changes are for the benefit of allotment holders and associations.We encourage associations to take on self management / self help.
Organising competitions for individuals and associations.
