🍻 SAVE OUR VILLAGE PUB – THE HARE AND HOUNDS, GREATFORD 🍻

Our village pub has been part of Greatford’s history and community spirit for generations. It’s where people meet, friendships are made and memories are created.

Sadly, the Hare and Hounds is currently closed and boarded up, and its future remains uncertain. There have been people interested in buying it to keep it as a pub, and I believe we should do everything we reasonably can to preserve that possibility.

I’m not a member of the parish council, but I’m passionate about protecting our village pub and am trying to gather as many petition signatures as possible to support an application to have it listed as an Asset of Community Value (ACV).

An ACV listing won’t guarantee the pub’s future or prevent development, but it can give the community an opportunity to organise a bid if the property comes up for sale and provide an additional consideration in future planning decisions.

We don’t need to assume what the owners intend to do to recognise that this much-loved village asset deserves a future. The aim is simply to give the community the best possible chance of seeing it thrive again.

🍺 If you want Greatford to have the chance of keeping its pub, please sign and share the petition. Every signature helps demonstrate how much it matters to our village.
