TRAFFORD Council has apologised to allotment tenants who have wrongly received final reminders for their annual allotment rents, and would like to assure them that no legal action will be taken against them.

Invoices for the rents were sent out on May 5 but, due to an inputting error, these were immediately followed by the warning letters.

A council spokesperson said: "We value our allotment tenants and appreciate the upset that can be caused by a mistake like this.

"We are currently in the process of contacting these tenants to inform them why this happened and to invite them to contact us if they have any further concerns about the issue."
