With regret. I’m sad to inform that the campaign is over .
The owner now has change of use and so the pub will never be.. again!
Thank you, to all those who have supported and contributed to the campaign over the years.
Here are a few important facts, possibly from scientific studies into the importance of rural pubs:
Pubs effectively contribute to increasing social engagement and community cohesion among residents in rural areas of England
In rural areas, pubs act as essential melting pots for bringing the community together from all walks of life and studies conclude that they provide a vital service that the countryside cannot afford to lose.
The importance of the village pub as the main hub in the community’s infrastructure has increased, offering support to a wide range of activities . Pubs function as physical incubators which foster engagement and involvement among the community, as well as creating jobs for local people and local suppliers.
