For a couple of years, I frequented this pub whilst working during the week in London. It was well run, had character, a proud history, a bloody good pub quiz, fine beer and a worthy menu. Sadly, some rich, selfish a@@@hole wants to change it's use and in doing so, stick two fingers up at the community where they will be living. That should not be allowed. A few possible blockers for our would be developer....is the building listed or of significant historical or cultural interest that might require a more justified application for change of use? Can a public consultation be demanded with regards to the change of use of the building.Has any thought been given to a cooperative buying the property and running it as a pub themselves? Best of luck to you all in saving The Clifton.
