I must admit that until I read the article in ‘News and Ale’ I thought you were an anti-McDonalds movement and my attitude was since no-one has come forward to redevelop the site in the last 5 years, why shouldn’t McDonalds do so ?
Reading the article put it in a completely different perspective for me, I fully support you and empathise, having been involved in a battle to save a pub in Robertsbridge, East Sussex a few years ago, and it is great that you are using some of the new laws to your advantage.
I like the Mission Statement – very positive, and love the ambition.
One recommendation though would be to turn down the ”anti-McDonalds” tone – I realise the press like an anti-campaign but personally I find the ‘restore a local asset and put it back into the hands of the locals’ much more attractive.
I was a regular around 1973/75. Don’t live in area anymore. Saw item on southern news. Can’t believe what is happening. Good luck with your campaign.
Thank you for stopping by and lending us your support, Lorna. What was the Tumbledown like in the mid 1970s? I didn’t start going there until 1988
