I WAS incredulous to see the picture of Councillor Joel Briant holding a gardening fork featured in News Shopper (Gardeners Flock To Get Hold Of Allotment Plots, October 19).
The reason for my disbelief is Cllr Briant was clearly attempting to claim credit for the leasing of 29 of the 31 plots which were previously vacant on the Crayford Way allotment site.
Readers will recall this is the same Cllr Briant who was the mastermind behind the disastrous Draft Allotment Strategy which sought to sell of half of the borough's allotment sites and bulldoze the rest.
Furthermore, this is the same Cllr Briant who has for the past four years treated allotment holders with a high-handed arrogance, discourtesy and contempt.
