Dear Supporters,

We need your help again ! We really appreciate you signing this Petition but we now need you to support us again by responding to the B&NES Local Plan.

The Bath Allotment Association has made a number of Local Green Space Nominations but not all of these have been supported, one of these being our Combe Down Allotments.

We, and the Bath Allotment Association, are now asking for YOUR SUPPORT so that allotments are recognised and protected for their contribution to well-being, tackling climate change and increasing bio-diversity and community cohesion.

Our Combe Down Allotments (also known as Church Road Allotments) is a 130 year old site that is especially important historically and socially, as well as a testimonial to the everyday lives of generations of Combe Down workers and their benefactors.

The reasons why it has been TURNED  DOWN for LOCAL GREEN SPACE designation are complex but the need for this designation is pressing. This site is under immediate and real threat. 

A full briefing note has been prepared by the Bath Allotment Association to help explain the complexities and has been published on their website and can be found here.

Guidance on how YOU can register your responses/comments to THE REJECTION OF THE DESIGNATION COMBE DOWN ALLOTMENTS AS A LOCAL GREEN SPACE on the New Local Plan Options Consultation has been published on their website and can be found here.

WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME!! Consultation closes 5pm, 16 April, 2024.

Thankyou so much for your support,

The Save Combe Down Allotments Team
