Please help SAVE the North Arms pub in Wroxton!

I am very sad to announce that the idyllic North Arms pub in Wroxton, Oxfordshire, that first opened its doors to customers back in 1850 has been purchased with a view to changing it into a private residence. 

We have eight weeks to save it! 

Please show your support by joining the "Save Our Norths Arms Pub In Wroxton" Facebook cause and joinig the petition.

Hi Victoria. I have signed your petition and hope you manage to save it. Too many pubs going down the drain, far too many and mainly because of greedy pub chains with high rents and the equally greedy Councils and their ever increasing rates. I know, I was former landlord of the Ampleforth Arms in Risinghurst, Headington, Oxford!

Pubs are the social centre's of all Village life, simple as that!

Must have done some good posting here on POE Victoria because there have been 3642 views so far.

Good luck anyway.

It is very sad that all these pubs are closing down,but what do we put it down to --there are many reasons why-first i blame the breweries who own these pubs being too greedy with price increases and rents.

A lot blame the smoking ban to an extent--which i agree with but a lot of the blame must go with the type of managers in these pubs who are not presentable to the customer--gone are the days when you were made welcome with a good evening sir attitude --no matter how many people sign petitions to save pubs once the owners have made their mind up -thats it.

Let us know how it's going please.
