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.

No News

Strange thing.  Since the "demolition" notice appeared, nothing has happened!  We've tried to get in touch with Staffs BC to find out what's going on but have heard nothing.  No change there then.  We're writing this post just to let you know that we here at the Blog are still keeping an eye on things - despite the long silence which isn't helped by interference from the day job.  We'll chase Staffs BC again shortly and keep you posted.

    Thanks for the update.As we well know SBC has little consideration for the views and opinions of the taxpayers,it is unsurprising that they have not replied,yet again.
    Contempt or what ?
    As a regular passer by of the G&D you do see several vans/cars on the grounds,presumably inside the building so something is occurring.
    Enquiries with the agent have delivered little additional information other than it is still on the market,open to offers.
