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.

A Result

Well done the Parish Council!  Most of the fly-tipped rubbish was removed today.  There is still some left although it might just be the owners' idea of a security barrier to prevent access to the rear of the pub.  Not perfect by any means but much better than it was before.
