The Wellington Hotel, New Whittington

A community owned pub for New Whittington?

For most villages a pub is a vital service; it is a meeting place, communication centre and an important lynchpin of village life. Much of the appeal of our village rests on its sense of community. It is the reason many people have moved here and remain here. The presence of reinstating the Wellington would, we feel, greatly enhance that community spirit. 

It was back in 2016 when we first saved our local community pub from becoming a convenience store. Since becoming an 'Asset for Community Value' we have managed to preserve our local. The pub is now up for sale and we have the opportunity to buy it as a community. 

This questionnaire is the first step. We need to know your views on what might be provided and what would receive your support. Please be as honest and realistic as possible in your answers! Your response will be treated in the strictest confidence. It is entirely anonymous, unless you wish to add your name at the end. 

The results of this survey will be published and presented to a public meeting when the proposal can be discussed further.

We would also like to hear from you if you feel you could help in any way with the running of the pub. There will be a wide range of tasks to be done from the initial setting up of the project to managing the enterprise and being involved in the day-to-day practical operation.

This kind of venture has been successfully achieved in other communities all over the UK. There are over 150 community pubs in the UK with many more in the pipeline and most of these have been set up with the support of the charity Plunkett Foundation (www.plunkett.co.uk). Will our community be the next one? If you wish to speak directly to someone about this project please contact:
