This group is for tenants of Harborne Hill Leisure Gardens.

The group will not replace the current methods of communication from the Committee such as email and the website but act as an enhancement to this. This can be used to share updates from the Committee, support activities across the site, advise changes to the shop opening times and give tenants a quick method of communicating with both the Committee and amongst themselves. Membership of this group is voluntary.

Be Respectful and Kind

Please treat other members with courtesy and patience at all times. We understand people may sometimes disagree but please keep discussions respectful and be kind to others. Behaviour that makes other group members feel uncomfortable or unwelcome may result in removal from the group.

Keep Posts Relevant

Please keep posts/discussions relevant to the allotments, for example reporting shed doors left open, excess seeds, plants and/or produce, assistance watering plots whilst on holiday or due to illness, events taking place on site or off site if they may be of interest to members, growing advice etc. It can also be used as a quick method of reaching out to the Committee to report damage to the site, leaking water taps etc.

Please don’t use this platform to post political items or to complain about issues on site. There is a pre-agreed Disputes process which can be found on the site noticeboards and the website.

Respect Privacy

Please do not post any personal information about yourself or others, or take screenshots of chat and post to external groups/sites. Members should be aware that joining chat groups means phone numbers become visible to other members.

Administrators

Administrators will monitor the chat and issue warnings if necessary or remove members completely if behaviour becomes disruptive, abusive or inappropriate. Views and information shared by members are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of Harborne Hill Allotment Association. This group is not responsible for advice, opinions or arrangements shared between members.

The group will initially be administered by the Committee, however going forward any tenants can volunteer to assist that process.
