Stratford District Council's buying the pub with thoughts of turning it into a community venue: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm4g12p78rk3o

As someone pointed out to me earlier, this has, of course, nothing to do with the local elections next year.

Apparently, the owner's a bit of a dodgy character - previous prison time for fraud etc... It's rumoured that the building was chronically underinsured as well.

It could be the case that someone else will have to take it on eventually....?

Someone got other plans for it?

Three-and-a-half years later, work's still not started on rebuilding the pub, and people are getting a bit peeved: [url]https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/growing-frustration-over-derelict-three-tuns-pub-in-alcester/[/url]

Stratford District Council are looking at an enforcement order to get the pub rebuilt: [url]https://www.stratford-herald.com/news/future-of-alcester-pub-destroyed-by-fire-put-under-spotlight-9235573/[/url]

From what I've been hearing, the pub's completely gutted. It's a listed building too, so might not be worth being rebuilt as a watering hole.

Nasty.
