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.

Write In!

We now have a copy of the new plan but are still struggling to work out what's new about it.  We are reliably informed, however, that the design features an amendment to the turning circle for vehicles.  One thing for sure is that there is still the same number of houses and still the same unsightly mass of concrete. 

If you are one of the many people having difficulties with the SBC website, we suggest that you simply write in to them voicing your concerns and objecting to the proposal.  The address is:


Planning and Regeneration
Stafford Borough Council
Civic Centre
Riverside
Stafford
ST16 3AQ

Reference: 10/14268/ FUL

And of course, even if you have seen the plans write in anyway.  There is still time!
