Higham CBS are working to create a community hub. Our vision is to buy the pub for the community, creating a thriving hub at the heart of the village. We want 'The Oddies' to be a 'community pub' in every way! https://savetheoddiespub.wixsite.com/stop

I'm in pretty in print Stir to Action making the case that the introduction of a Community Right to Buy (that @powertochange.org.uk @right-here.org and many others have been working towards) should mark the beginning of a new movement for English community ownership.
Serendipity… in the Lake District and getting chatting to the pub landlord about our community project! He mentioned where he was from “a little place called Longparish!” … used to listen to Trevor bottling up!! Told Ben all about the success that is The Plough 🤣☺️
