It is the last pub in the village. It has been a place for local people to gather and to feel part of a community.

This is my village pub, the social hub.

A local pub is a vital community asset and should be protected. Losing it to residential use would mean losing an important place for people to meet, connect and support our local community.

The Forrester is and has been a key and only meeting place for the past 25 years.

The foresters pub is the heart of the community and brings the local community together, it is so important to keep a pub and therefore a community spirit.

This pub was - and if well managed can again be - a vital part of the community.

We have lost too many pubs which are a big part of country life and culture. They stop isolation and loneliness and bring communities together and we need this more than ever. Time to put people before financial profit.

As a family, we have celebrated many family occasions in this pub. It is close to home and is important to the whole community.

The Forester was our 'go to' pub with family. friends and staff parties - it just had everything you want for a great village pub and Donhead is poorer for being without this key local hub.

Pubs are a focal point for village life. They can’t be allowed to die - otherwise community spirit dies with them.

The Donheads have no pub following closure and no village shop of their own. If The Forester were managed sensibly it would be a great success

This is such an integral part of life and the village. We desperately need to keep it. 🙏
