Ruskin Mill have now formally applied for change of use of the Tipputs, even though it is now on the Community Asset Register. This is your last chance to tell the planning department your thoughts. The application is here http://bit.ly/WVK7xC on SDC website. You can add your comments using the tab on the page or follow this link here http://bit.ly/1p4o95R to directly add your thoughts. Please do - or it'll be gone forever. It makes interesting reading from the owners claiming that this campaign was the reason the pub had to close, though they conveniently fail to mention that they were already closing the pub on 4 days a week to show a drop in sales. Also, the statement that the owners had 'discreetly advertised' the business for sale but found no purchasers. The advertising was certainly discreet as no-one in the pub trade can find any reference to this mythical advertising. Maybe it was discreetly put on a stick-it in their own office? Anyhow, if we put all the mis-information spread by Nick & Christophe (are they mononymous like Bono & Sting? they sign their official document "sincerely Nick & Christophe") - please complete the form on the SDC website. It really is the last opportunity to help! Save Tipputs Team
