From a community perspective, a pub would be so much more beneficial than another private dwelling.

As a family who recently moved to Donhead St Andrew we are very upset our only pub has gone. We had used it numerous times beforehand. It would be a great shame to loose this community gathering place for good, especially with so much interest and support to get it up and running again.

Living in the Area for 30 years 18 of those in DstM The foresters has has some great landlords over the time, the right person could make it a success, if it’s made into residential there’s no going back, the Donheads have lost so many pubs over the years

Villages all require some social meeting place to provide community a very important ingredient of well being for all ages.

I liked this pub & would not want to loose it. It needs keeping for the community and once it is turned into a house, the community has lost it forever. My son in law worked there as a youngster and it have me a good start in working.

The Forester, and village pubs in general, are the heart of small communities. Once lost, this wonderful tradition is lost forever, with village life and character much the poorer for it

I am signing because the Forester used to be a central part of my family’s life in Gutch Common. We really miss it. Before it closed there was nothing we liked better than to take the footpaths that lead from Gutch Common to Donhead St Andrew and to go to the Forester to have a pint and a fabulous lunch.

We have been residents of Donhead St. Andrew for 60 years and know how important it is for the community to have the pub.

We need to save our local pubs, they are much more than just a pub, they are a community asset and with a community such as one that has raised enough funds to purchase it, it just goes to show how much it’s needed.

Our village pub is so much more than a place to have a drink. It is a vital community hub and an important part of village life. It brings people together, provides a place to meet, socialise and support one another, and helps keep our village a connected community.

We miss having a pub in the village. We miss the warmth, connection and conversation. We’d like to have it back.
