Welcome
The Pheasant is still closed and we are still working away to try to change that. It is clear that we are not the only community to be at risk of loosing our pub on a permanent basis. There are communities up and down the country where the commercial pressures caused by the disparity between residential property values and the value of businesses resident in those properties is putting local amenities at risk.
This web site has been updated with the latest information relating to progress with the plan to get the Pheasant back into use. It is intended to provide the current state of play and the accumulated body of knowledge for the project at any given time. It will also serve as a point of reference for many of the issues that are raised by the situation.
So check back from time to time to see what progress has been made and please feel free to get involved by commenting on what you see. Most pages have a section at the bottom where you can post your thoughts so please do so.
