The allotments comprise part of Combe Down’s heritage, having been in existence for 130 years, but they are also an important resource in the present day: our allotments generate an abundance of high-quality food locally. It was to make use of the generous surplus of this food in the Summer of 2020, that a number of residents started the CropDrop project. Fiona Bell from CropDrop relates how this all started, and how it redistributes food to the Three Ways special needs school, near to Sainsbury’s in Odd Down. She is in conversation with Charlotte, a student from Bath Spa University.
