These people have been harassing my seventy year old mother, on her allotment in Havant. They gave her ONE DAY to quit the site because, in DECEMBER, the raspberries, blackcurrants, gooseberries, plums, pears, figs and strawberries she grows, were untidy and unproductive.
They also say she grows too many flowers because she has a hedge of roses underplanted with tulips, hyacinths and daffodils, to cut for bouquets.
She also has a polytunnel full of veg and tomatoes.
Norse refused to give her the manager's name, so she could appeal her case.
The stress this has caused her is terrible, and she is in tears with their demands.
Instead of enjoying her garden, she is living in fear of losing her garden; at Christmas.
As a professional gardener, I know, we all know, it is acceptable to tidy up carefully and slowly, over the winter. In December, these jobs are just beginning.
She has paid her rent up until March, so she should be left in peace until then.
Norse South East have proved themselves officious, unknowledgeable, despotic, callous and despicable in their treatment of my mother.
I wonder if they behave this way to their own mothers, or just women they don't know.
I hope their own mothers are proud of how they behave in the world.
Despite her having a productive allotment and paying her rent in full, NORSE threaten to take her garden, fresh food, social life, beautiful flowers and sense of purpose and occupation, away.
From their website:
"And our long-term vision, very simply, is to live in a society of thriving communities."

I saw a minibus driver urinating on a residential pavement in the middle of the day!

The client transport section I work in, is a great place to work, with lovely people to work with.
But anyone that is higher up than supervisor level, are jobsworths.
They do not allow supervisors to get on with the job, they are constantly undermining and making unbelievable decisions that then affect drivers and passengers assistants and in turn clients
They spend money on head office in Norwich but say they can't or won't invest elsewhere, some depots do not have toilets or wash facilities let alone a rest room.
The depot I work at has some of the worst vehicles on the fleet, usually cast offs from other depots, while office staff and management alike have new company vehicles.
Could hare been 5 stars but for those people at head office that seem to delight in causing problems for the rest of us.

I have a complaint I wish to raise about Norse Transport, who support individuals with autism to and from school in Fakeham.

I have learnt recently that a driver has been Inappropriately speaking to and infront of the young individuals. I find it despicable that the driver informed a student "if you're late, I will be leaving you", also this does include swearing at other drivers whilst the young people where in the vehicle. This is not an act of support, this is an act irresponsible behaviour and should not be allowed.

The parents of the young people have tried to email with a written complaint which has been ignored. I expect a company as big as yours to be take pride in the service you provide. However, ignoring emails from concerned parents is unacceptable and rude.

If you wish to understand and know more information, I will happily speak to you directly. I suggest this matter is addressed, if not It will have to go further with my complaint.

Norse grounds driver ran me out of road on my motorcycle with his van and trailer, complained to Norse over two hours before manager returns call said he would respond within 2 days week later nothing. Seems trying to killing motorcycles is exceptable to managment as long as long the grass get cut.

Huge thank you to the two/three workers from Norse Norwich Tree service for a terrific job done today in speedily cutting, chipping and clearing the tree that decided it wanted to block Valpy Avenue Norwich today. In the awful gales these men cleared and were gone by 11.30am. Loads of complaints get posted but they need to know how much their quick work was appreciated!
