The last remaining vestiges of what had been the George & Dragon were demolished yesterday afternoon. All that remains is a pile of rubble.
There'll be no final epitaph from us. We did this a long time ago as previous posts will bear testimony. However, we aren't going anywhere. If anything, the real challenge is only just beginning. A vacant plot will no doubt soon attract the attention of the less desirable. The owners have a legal obligation to comply with the provisions of the planning permission and ensure that it remains fenced off and secure until such time as development is completed. Given the evidence to date, that may be some time off.
In the meantime, residents will need to be vigilant.
