Mother of two, Pam French, who set up the petition said the café helped her to integrate into new surroundings when she moved to Cardiff five years ago. Café owner, Melissa Boothman, received a notice to quit from the council, meaning her business has to leave the premises by August 2, after months of unsuccessful lease renewal negotiations. The petition, titled 'stop Cardiff Council evicting Secret Garden Café from Bute Park' was launched on Friday May 12 and has received just over 9,700 signatures in four days.Ĭardiff Council said a direct award of a lease renewal for the café, which has been at the Bute Park for five years, could not be made because its tenancy has expired and "a new management agreement and associated lease are now required". A petition launched to save a popular Cardiff café which is expected to leave its current site this summer has received thousands of signatures.
