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.

News from the Coal Face

Finally, some news from the Borough Council!  There is to be a reconsultation exercise in respect of the revised plans.  However, it seems that another change to the application is on the way and John Holmes has not yet organised anything. 

One thing we need to watch out for, though, is that it looks like we'll have just 14 days in which to respond.  Look out for those letters in the post!
