I have exchanged Emails with: The planning department at Knowsley Council, Hugh Malone (Labour Councillor) Kirk Sandringham (Green Party) CAMRA (Preserving local pubs) The submitted plan now describes a retained Bar and Lounge area with an extension of the rear outside facility to include a seated area. The Queens remains :) Thankyou for showing support, at the very least we have shown that public opinion is against the conversion of local amenities and assets, will be discussing the option to add a Jacuzzi and Golf driving range in future updates :P
