Agenda item

To receive a report back from the WAA AGM held on 16March 2025.

The Committee received a verbal update from the Chair and Leader of the Council following the Witney Allotment Association (WAA) Annual General Meeting held on 16 March 2025.

Members were advised the WAA had agreed to retain an over-arching Committee with a joint treasurer and waiting list co-ordinator with two separate sub-committees. These would be named North and South; South would contain Lakeside and North would contain the current remaining allotment sites with each of these having their own Chair and Secretary. The main Committee would meet twice a year.

The Committee were hopeful this would resolve any administrative issues within the organisation and thanked Councillors and officers for their input. The WAA resolution re-affirmed the decision of the Council taken on 25 November 2024.

Recommended:

1.      That, the verbal update be noted

2.      That, the recommendations of the Witney Allotment Association, as set out by this committee on 25 November 2024 be re-affirmed, thereby creating North and South sub-committees.
