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
So that’s a wrap! Hearing done - great turnout in support, we did our best to make our case for community use so now we wait for the decision.
When your amazing supporters go above and beyond!! 😍

Community centres are the real hearts of their neighbourhoods.
They bring people together, support health and wellbeing, build local pride - and offer space for joy.
Our new report on how we celebrate, sustain and reimagine these vital spaces.
Yay!! Great work - that’s just the people on FB! 🎉🎉🎉
Really great community meeting last night, all feeling focused and reenergised! On we go!!
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 🤣☺️
