What the petition asks
The pub has been there since the 1960’s and is used by a wide range of people. From football fans to people attending funerals and celebrating the life of their loved ones. I want to stop it from being demolished and replaced with a coffee shop, as it’s not beneficial to the area it is surrounding
The pub sits opposite a council estate and is the only one for a mile in the area. It’s a community pub and is vital it stays open, to create local jobs for people in the area, and to support vulnerable people too
