Watching last nights east mids news there was an item about the allotments at Gonerby Hill which is Grantham Linc's, the owner of the land which the allotments are on issued the allotment holders with eviction orders, it seems to be the trend for people that own land which could be suitable for other use to go down this road, :)

Found the articles, that is so pathetic it looks like this has been going on for 3 years :'(
Unfortunately there's no way the council can justify spending the money to save them at the moment.
Only hope is CPO with a very low price. It does happen......
