Catford Bridge Tavern - plans to turn it into a Tesco metro or similar

[elloriac]

If anyone is a fan of this pub (huge improvement on the dive it was before), you may wish to know that the landlord is trying to sell it to a retail company and has applied for planning permission to turn the top into flats.

The planning application is here: http://acolnet.lewisham.gov.uk/LEWIS-XSLPagesDC/acolnetcgi.exe?ACTION=UNWRAP&RIPNAME=Root.PgeResultDetail&TheSystemkey=67504

A group of supporters are planning on raising the issue at the open forum at a council meeting today, meet at the Catford Bridge Tavern for 10:30am this morning if you'd like to go along, council meeting is at 11am. The pub is planning on keeping people informed about what they can do via Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/catfordbridgetavern and twitter

I'm not connected to the pub but have spent some fabulous evenings there with my Catford mates and would hate to see it close.

Thanks.
