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.

Site Sold?

A number of websites advertising the sale of the G&D site on behalf of the agents report that it has been sold subject to contract.

Before & After

One of our readers has requested a "Before and After" photo to show how decisions made by the local authority's decisions determine the look and feel of our community.  Click on the image for a larger view.

The "after" picture was, of course, taken before the wind blew all the fencing down!  Perhaps we'll take another one showing what a right mess the place has become.
