The Management Committee ask plot holders to look favourably on Merton's recent request to share contact information with the Committee.
When members of the Committee met Merton's Parks Team on 31 January 2024, a key topic was effective communication.
In the past it was different, but the Committee currently do not know who all plot holders are or how to contact them. The only ways for the Committee to pass on news to plot holders is the notice boards at the Site, this web site, word of mouth and the AGM. That can be hit or miss.
The head of the Parks Team (Andrew Kauffman) has recently written to each plot holder, on the subject of permission to share his or her contact information with the Committee.
Mr Kauffman's letter concludes: "if we haven’t heard from you [via slwpallotments@idverde.co.uk] before [Friday 9 August 2024] we will assume that you are happy for your details to be shared."
