I have been working behind the scenes, to resolve the matter about insecure fencing on a property along Park Lane. This breachable fence is allowing vandals access to the adjacent allotments land in chadwell. It transpires after Mick Perring a local Crime Prevention Officer undertook his report, that there is a Borough Allotments Manger and that he has been trying to find a solution for a period of time -including offering to make secure the residents property. Here is a response received from the Borough Allotments Manager:"Thank you for your enquiry. I am aware of and have investigated break-ins and arson of property at the above site reported to and also investigated, as criminal offences, by the police. The site's perimeter is bounded by a thick hedge interrupted by a 1.8M metal gate at the front, a tall palisade fence at the rear, and private property walls and fences at the sides. Plot holders at the site suspect that the criminals gained access by climbing over the gate (which seems unlikely, as it is overlooked by residential properties on Chadwell Heath Lane) and through a looseness between panels in a section of perimeter fence owned by No. ** Park Lane, whose occupier has been uncooperative with the Council's earlier request for permission to repair the fence. We are persevering with seeking this permission as well as considering an alternative solution to the problem. Also, it is proposed to improve the thickness of the above hedge by more planting where it appears thin"
I will of course keep you updated with information and will be approaching the resident personally to see if I can find a solution.
