I agree with Annie, I am sure we would all like public funding of CCTV in our streets but wonder why one of The Thorpe's has been singled out.

Also surely the writer did not mean celebrate the First World War , I assume they meant commemorative ?????

The Greyhound

Chris Best reported the Deed of Variation has been signed off by the council and is now with Purelake and the other signatories (the retail concession and Hexagon housing). It was hoped, but not promised, they would sign off by Christmas. The DoV has the effect of combining the responsibilities in the original Planning Consent with the the new Planning Consent necessary to rebuild the pub.

Does anyone know if this was signed off at Christmas? What's the likely timeframe for a rebuild anyway, will it be finished this year?

I'll post an update in the Greyhound thread.
