Allotment holders say it will be 'an absolute disaster' if the site owner terminates the lease.
The council received a six thousand signature petition, urging them to contest the termination of the lease
The council said the owner had not followed up or engaged with them since giving his notice to end the lease. The BBC has contacted the owner who declined to comment.The Combe Down allotment site has 64 plots currently leased by the council, and has the potential for 22 further plots and a five-year waiting list of 44 people.
"These allotments are not only growing food for us humans but they're also the habitat and food source for our local wildlife. "There's not many facilities round here, and we're just going to take away a substantial community facility? What for? If they can justify it, then tell us."
