UPDATE ON ALLOTMENT MANAGEMENT AND DATA HANDLING

Meopham Parish Council would like to update plot holders on the transfer of allotment records from the Meopham & District Allotment Association (MDAA).

1. Lawful Transfer of Information
Before providing the Plotmaster database, the MDAA Lettings Officer contacted the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The ICO confirmed that sharing tenant information with the Council is lawful, as the Council owns the land and is resuming management of the site.

Following a recent professional tree survey, we regret to inform parishioners that two of our long‑standing horse chestnut trees must be felled. We know how iconic and well‑loved our trees are within the parish, and this decision has not been taken lightly.
