We are deeply concerned by Whitbread’s proposal to close the Beefeater Bagle Brook pub and restaurant in Baglan.

The Bagle Brook is a well-loved, valued, long-standing part of our community—a popular venue and vital social hub enjoyed by generations of local families. It provides important local jobs and supports the wider economy.

Its closure would be a significant loss, removing a key community space where people gather to socialise and connect. The loss of such a prominent venue would represent a serious blow.

We call on Whitbread to:

• Reconsider this proposal
• Fully assess the impact on the local community and economy
• Work with stakeholders to explore alternatives

We urge Whitbread to withdraw this proposal and protect this important community asset.
