When we moved in 4 years ago we were worried about living near a pub again as we'd had trouble previously, even though it was a quiet semi-rural area. A few months down the line and they started having disco nights with the obligatory thud-thud-thud monotonous modern dance crap music on a couple of nights a week. There was an occasional fight and some windows put through, and twice the local reprobates expressed their dislike at the redecorating by trashing the place, during which they stole the plasma telly's of course. On Christmas Eve 2006 the manager at the time decided to walk out, taking many months takings with him and leaving the pub open for a free-for-all. Obviously the place was ransacked, drunk dry and stripped bare. The place closed and became a haunt for local teens to shelter from the rain, probably take drugs and maybe procreate. Several attempts to deter them by boarding it up failed until they decided they liked their squat so much that they set it on fire. This was the last straw for both the owners and council, and over the last two weeks it's gone from....



...to...




There is permission to allow them to build a small block of modern flats on there, but in the current economic and housing climate I can't see that happening for some time, so we'll just enjoy the extra light, views and peace, until the Pik.... er, travellers spot it and make camp

Or even a Refugee detention camp...?

abbott

bring the pub back dude , the flats may get filled with chav n chavettes anyway !

The Zohan

It will still be empty as the ******* escape just about every other day

EddScott

Exactly what I thought when I read that - out of the frying pan into the fire.

Hopefully its privately owned land.

little-ginge

It won't be a detention centre. They will build some really nice flats there - all mod cons ( inside toilet and the such ) and then....











give them FOC to the asylum seekers so that they can move all their family into the country.

The Zohan

You missed out all the benefits they will recieve as they so richly deserve paid for with every penny (of tax) we donate to HMG



Calling Peter Brant.....

ah paul, dont forget out of the 12 family members for said asylum family, one will work in a factory for £5.75 an hour and thus entitle the rest of his family to £2-3-400 a week benifits here and long lost cousins back home in easteurostan

little-ginge

That's a given though, isn't it...

Jeez, Corradoboy, what part of the UK do you live in? It LOOKS a nice enough area..........

I'm guessing Yorkshire. There's a clue in the image link

It's probably about 10 kids who've caused the damage since it closed, and more than likely their parents who ransacked the pub and caused all the trouble when it was open. They come from the council houses you can see behind the pub. The rest of the area isn't too bad at all really. This is from Google Earth which shows how green it is....



I used to live about another 2 miles away in a semi-rural village with a country pub doing family meals. When the landlord changed it became popular with young lads drinking expensive bottled lagers as he made a feature of the big screen for footie matches. The tossers came from 1-2 miles away for their night at the pub and caused untold damage on their way home most nights. Again, the area was quiet, tranquil and very pleasant, apart from between 1130pm and 1am (afters), especially on a match day (and people wonder why I hate football).

Its always good to have a pub to drink in close by

corradoboy

I prefer to walk the extra 3/4 of a mile to The Bankhouse...

But thats a £5 taxi ride on the way home

now its open land make sure the gippoes dont get on, they broke in to an area across the road from us and it took the council 6 months to move them on, by which time the crime rate round here went through the roof, we had generators going all night, they trashed the building next to the land they'd moved on and it cost the council £30k to clean up the filth they left behind.

This land is awaiting building to start!

My next door neighbor is our local councillor, so I shall be speaking to him over the weekend. Like most in office however, he avoids questions and never has many answers

Yep, Gyppos soon I expect.

Get an Air Gun, they dont like holes in the side of the shiny caravans, when I was a kid in the eighties some moved on "Our Field" which was our racetrack, bonfire venue, rope swing, pond, nature trail etc for a lot of kids, they were making a mess, our bikes were dissapearing (and turning up there) as were all sorts of other stuff, Police didnt do anything, neither did the council.

But a few kids with old BSA air rifles did the trick, even though the few old guns were knackered they had enough oompf to go through Aluminium, it went like this, shoot RUN LIKE **** from the angry Paddy McGuire type bloke(s) and hide, we knew it well so could get away quickly, this was played out night after night and the Gyppos decided to stake us out by hiding in the bushes but got spotted and then shot at !

Some did drive bys with Dog **** and eventually after a couple of weeks they moved on, at which point most of the local population came out and in a Dunkirk spirit type operation blocked the entrance to the field with all manner of debris to avoid it happening again, then cleared up the horendous mess they left.

Get an Air Gun !

I've got a couple of those old BSA air rifles, used to be my dad's. They still work pretty well, must be very old by now too. The .22 sorts the rats out anyway!
