I saw yet another article today about a community pub being demolished for redevelopment as a 65-bed care home. The locals have gathered a 500 signature petition to try to preserve the pub and a planning decision regarding the change of use is imminent. Whether it is too late for this pub who knows but at least the community are fighting for its survival.
For anyone wanting to start a campaign to save their local pub, I recommend getting the action pack available from the Community Pubs Foundation website. The foundation also offers advice and small grants to local groups trying to save their pub so anyone in that position should visit their site.
