Farmers have criticised Somerset County Council's sell-off of farmland to fund the provision of superfast broadband.

They've attacked the authority's claims it's made nine-point-six million pounds ind doing so, saying the eighteen sales were up to seven years ago, and that 'sweeteners' have been paids to tenants whose agreements are being ended early.

The Council insists they're 'not in the business of dispossessing tenants'.
