ABOUT THIS BLOG

This popular and historic pub was acquired by its owners in 2009 with a view, initially, to building flats for social housing and then subsequently developing a small housing estate. Local residents opposed these plans from the start.

Planning permission was granted in 2010 after which the site was put up for sale. After many years of inactivity, building work finally started in July 2015. Locally, this was seen as good news. However, the houses have yet to be completed.

The aim of this Blog has been to keep residents informed of current developments and to record the long history of this small community's fight to keep its pub.

More Political Support

Our Staffordshire County Councillor, Ian Parry, has now formally joined us in objecting to the planning application.  In his letter to Stafford Borough, Councillor Parry objects to  the over density of population that the proposals would lead to.  He goes on to express concerns over the proximity to the busy road junction.  Finally, he notes that there is universal disapproval by local residents and no signficant demand for housing in this part of the borough anyway.

Well said indeed.
