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.

Fly Tipping - Update

Just to let readers know that the Parish Council has taken action on the continued fly tipping on the pub site.  They have been in touch with Environmental Services at SBC who have in turn served a notice on the owners for litter and refuse.  They are also meeting with them shortly to ensure compliance.

It seems that they were due to meet this Thursday but someone cancelled the meeting which has been rescheduled for 11th March.

Thanks due to the Parish Council!  We'll keep you posted.
