Kings Head Hadstock under threat of closure

Thursday 7 January 2016

The Landlord at this pub has been given a month's notice to quit. He has turned around this pub and the villagers are trying to buy the pub to stop it closing. It is already registered as an Asset of Community Value and the owners want to sell it for as much money as possible without any concept of it remaining a pub. The building structure requires a lot of work and the village are aware of what needs to be done. The village company which is trying to raise money to buy the pub has this website:- http://hadstockcommunitypub.co.uk/ Please visit this website and consider investing in a community pub. The worst possible scenario would be for the pub to be boarded up and and left to rot. At the moment this is also David, the Landlord's home which will be gone too.
