Stop the Demolition of the King's Head pub in Pulham St Mary


Stop the Demolition of the King's Head pub in Pulham St Mary
The Issue
As local residents, we are deeply concerned about the proposed demolition of our grade II listed pub in Pulham St Mary. The King's Head is not just a building, it is part of our community heritage and stands proudly at the heart of our village. Over the last 17 years, it has been neglected by its owner and now faces an uncertain future.
The importance of preserving historical buildings cannot be overstated. According to Historic England, there are over 500,000 listed buildings in England and each and every one contributes to our understanding and appreciation of the past. Our pub is one such building that holds immense historical and community value for us and we want to see it retained and restored.
We understand that change is inevitable but destroying a piece of history for short-term profit does not seem like a fair trade-off. We believe there are alternative solutions that could save the building and enhance the centre of our village.
We urge South Norfolk Council to reject the planning application for demolition submitted by the owner, and to compulsorily purchase the building on behalf of us villagers who wish to preserve this important landmark.
By signing this petition, you're standing with us in protecting our heritage from being erased forever. Please sign this petition today!
