Lock on lower gate

Reported via desktop in the Allotment issue category anonymously at 11:54, Fri 23 May 2025

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 7609224.

The padlock on the lower gate of the Abbey View allotments is jammed and we could not get out this morning using either my or my husband's keys. We had to go round to the top again. This problem seems to be happening quite a lot according to others on this site. We felt a bit trapped. We had gained access from the top gate as we had been on a walk. Both upper and lower locks appear to be jamming up and getting stuck. Can you install a keypad entry system?
