Residents in a North Yorkshire village have successfully taken control of their local pub after it closed in December 2019.
The Black Lion in Skelton-on-Ure, near Newby Hall, closed its doors in December 2019 when Admiral Taverns bought it. However, with plans from the new owners on hold, the shuttered pub quickly became an eyesore in the village, inspiring locals to take action. Nearly two years ago a meeting of residents in the village hall was the beginning of a campaign to bring their pub back to life.
The group’s bid for funding was assisted by The Plunkett Foundation, an organisation which has helped set up the majority of community pubs in the UK, as well as with a number of ongoing campaigns. Community pubs, according to The Plunkett Foundation, are owned and run democratically by members of the community, with shares set at a reasonable price to allow people to buy-in to the venture.
