I have been to the Saints Pub in Redbridge this weekend to support the campaign to keep the pub.
The land is owned by the Council and leased to Enterprise Inns plc who sub let it to a tenant. They now wish to kick the tenant out and develop the site for flats.
I think that the pub is real community asset for the area. In the last few years 7 pubs have closed in the area.
The council is ploughing thousands of pounds into Mansel Park to help improve the area. They are putting in new sports facilities and hopefully this will encourage more teams sports. The local football teams etc. need somewhere to do drink and socialise after a game.
I met up with my colleague Matt Dean who is very experienced publican and is standing in Redbridge for the Conservatives in May's elections. He is doing sterling work in the community and hopefully with Matt's help we can save the pub or even get Enterprise Inns to invest in even better pub for the area.
