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.

Keep those Pencils Sharpened!

It is very much looking like the applicant is going to submit a revised proposal.  County Councillor Ian Parry has confirmed that the applicants are in the process of revising their plans at the moment. Quite what this means in terms of any future consultation exercise is not yet clear.  We are awaiting a response from Stafford BC to establish whether the current process will simply continue or if it will mean starting all over again.  I'll keep you posted as soon as we hear anything.
