REPRESENTATIONS<br />

SEVENTY SIX signature petition received raising OBJECTION to the proposed change <strong>of</strong><br />

grounds:<br />

We believe that a Public House is a vital local amenity, especially when other amenities such<br />

as local shops and post <strong>of</strong>fices are under threat. A well run Public House <strong>of</strong>fers a controlled<br />

drinking area which can reduce nuisance in the local area as well as providing a focus for<br />

village life. It is even more important if it is the last remaining pub in a village or area. It can<br />

also provide valuable local jobs and reduce the temptation to drink and drive. There are<br />

many examples <strong>of</strong> well-run and pr<strong>of</strong>itable pubs in the <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> area and we feel that the<br />

Red Hart could join these if given the chance.<br />

TWO letters from a third party interested in purchasing the public house and has made an<br />

<strong>of</strong>fer to the applicants.<br />
