The Gardeners Inn, in Cossall, Nottinghamshire, is the heart of a community full of residents in Awsworth and Cossall, popular with families and adults.

The Gardeners could potentially be closing shortly after Christmas. A committee has been set up and an petition is under way to save the much loved pub. So many pubs are closing per day and closing the Gardeners will leave a big effect on all local and far residents who come to the pub to catch up with so many friends and family, as well as a large amount of community groups which use the pub.

We are petitioning for Broxtowe Borough Council to give us an ACV - Asset of community value, which means the pub must stay as a pub.

Unfortunately, the land was unknowingly sold to developers, without given the chance for someone to buy and keep the pub, as a pub. The developers wish to knock down The Gardeners to build houses on the land. Which will take away a massive part of the local community. The only people profiting from this will be the developers themselves. Not the thousands of residents which use the pub, daily, monthly and annually, the pub means so much to so many people.

Please help sign this petition to persuade Broxtowe to reconsider their decision to give us an ACV.
