As some of you may know, The Midland Pub, 29 Station Road NW4 4PN - trading since 1889 - closed in December 2021 after years of successful trading and was sold to developers.

It has ASSET OF COMMUNITY VALUE (ACV) status registered with Barnet Council but that expires on 19 December 2023.
The ACV protects the pub from demolition and overdevelopment because it demonstrates that the pub is important for the social wellbeing and social interests of the local community.

A new application is being reviewed RIGHT NOW for the next 5 years to protect it from demolition/overdevelopment.

The pub is currently on the market for sale. With an ACV listing, any new owner will have to include the pub in any planning applications.

It was protected from 2018 so please help save it for another 5 years.

The pub serves local communities as well as the wider community.

Whoever runs it will not be short of custom; it is a desperately needed venue for social activities of a huge range of residents and community groups.

Please add your voice in supporting the continued ACV status of the Mids.
