This afternoon I visited the Jack and Jill pub in Coulsdon to speak to the landlady about the future of the pub and its role in the local community.
Many residents have been in touch with me recently to express their sadness that the pub is due to close at the end of the month after being sold by the brewery to developers. The local community is keen to see the Council step in to protect this much loved building and community space and I was pleased to have the opportunity to hear more about its history.
I will be speaking to the Council to see if anything can be done to protect this community asset and will be keeping in touch with residents once I receive a response.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me on this issue at [email protected].
