Our local public house is more than just a place to grab a pint. It's the heart of our community, a gathering spot where we share stories, celebrate milestones and come together in times of need. However, it is now under threat and we need your help to save it.

In recent years, many local pubs across the country have been forced to close their doors due to rising costs and changing consumer habits. According to The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA), around 14 pubs are closing each week in the UK alone. This isn't just about losing a place for social drinking; these closures are eroding our local communities. The Manor House is the only surviving pub in Drayton.

It has been serving this community for over 80 years. Its walls have witnessed countless birthdays, weddings, retirements and even funerals. It's where friendships were forged and memories made that will last a lifetime.

We cannot stand by while another piece of our community's soul is lost forever. We encourage you to sign this petition urging our local authority and representatives to take action against this closure - whether through financial support or by introducing measures that can help sustain such vital establishments.

Let us not lose another cornerstone of our community life without putting up a fight! Please sign this petition today!
