Here is the latest news from our branch area (and sometimes from further afield!).

Local CAMRA members are strongly encouraged to support this campaign.
The next meeting (and AGM) is on Wednesday 23 October at 7pm in the town hall.
UPDATE 06/09/2019: A further meeting took place at Croydon Town Hall on 4 September. There was little change since the last meeting - concerns were again raised about the complete intransigence of the owners and the seeming lack of concern about the squatters who are still occupying the building, and who, it transpires, are there with the owners' consent. Various options to get the owners to cooperate were discussed.
Although in the past the owners have responded (but have failed to answer any of our 18 questions), now they are ignoring us totally. It is very clear that they have no knowledge of, or respect for, the local community and do not have even a basic understanding of pub culture.
Given the ongoing concerns about the damage to the View, South Croydon, (please see Croydon Advertiser article: Croydon Advertiser article: The View, South Croydon) we continue to liaise with the planning department pointing out our concerns about the owners' guardianship of the property.
Interested parties are progressing initial enquiries with regard to a valuation of the pub.
