Bid to resolve dispute at allotment gardens

CLEAR-the-air talks are to take place in a bid to resolve a dispute between allotment holders and Carrick Borough Council.

Councillors this week agreed to consult with all tenants at Eden allotment gardens as the local authority works to clarify - and, if necessary, revise - its tenancy rules and address grievances aired by some plot holders.

Monday’s meeting of the Development Services committee considered an internal report on some of the issues arising and heard from one tenant, who addressed members behind closed doors.
