An allotment holder has been evicted following allegations that a sheep's head was buried in a neighbouring potato patch.
The committee which manages Ely Great Farm allotments in Dyfrig Road, Cardiff, warned plotholders last month that animal slaughter appeared to have been taking place on the land. Cardiff council, which owns the 170-plot community garden, has now told WalesOnline it has served a termination notice on an allotment holder following reports of "a number of incidents".
WalesOnline understands the practice was discovered after another plotholder found a severed sheep's head buried above their potatoes. The head's ear appeared to contain a tag. The committee then asked gardeners to keep the gates locked and refuse entry to anyone who does not have an allotment at the site.
