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.

Application Goes to Planning Committee

It's official.  The planning application goes before the Planning Committee on Wednesday, 15th December.  Let's do our utmost to get this most unwelcome proposal thrown out.  We've done it before, we can do it again.  Once last push folks!  If you haven't written in to object, there is still time but you'd better be quick. 

And don't forget the importance of a personal appearance.  The more residents who turn up on the night to demonstrate the fierce opposition there is to this and other plans, the more notice the Committee is likely to take of our protest.

We'll publish further details nearer the time.  For now, put a note in your diary:

Wednesday, 15th December.

    You are right that a strong turnout would be beneficial to the cause to get this application rejected again.Looking at the recent council website postings we see that once again Councillor Parry staunchly supports the campaign and well done to him.Unfortunately once again we are let down by the hapless performance of the planning department with their recommendations to allow this proposal.I for one hope that the forthcoming local government cuts fall heavily on this group of useless *****.
    We can now only rely on our democratically appointed representatives at the committee and hope that they are as worthy of our votes as Councillor Parry seems to be.We shall soon see.
