Tipputs is an old, established and well supported business that has a unique name.

Too many local pubs have closed through lack of use or because owners don't care about the locals - like the Half Way House at Box. 

Once this pub is changed into a school it is lost for ever; along with it's name and all the stories attached to it. Your grandchildren will never see it. 

Just maybe, with your support, Stroud Planning Department will block any plans to de-license it, or the current owners will realise the strength of local support for this pub.
