The Haringey Council signs are almost unreadable now but the 'danger' sign tells us rather starkly that the allotments are a 'hazardous area' and that the allotment management and tenants will not be liable for death or injury on the premises. I wonder if the new anti-climb razor devices on top of the gates might be the likely cause of death or are necessary to keep folk out of a deeply hazardous allotment. What has happened to our vegetable patches?
