The Percy Arms is an extremely important part of the community and has been a huge miss since it closed in December 2012. The majority of the village were thrilled to hear the news that a buyer may of been found when this application was submitted and that it would reopen creating jobs, tourism and a centre for our community again.
Northumberland County Council are holding a meeting at 10.00am on 29th April in Otterburn Village Hall regarding this. This is an open meeting but only those who have submitted a view to speak before 21st March can do so.
As we cannot speak at the meeting we would like everyone who supports the application to show this via our petition and we can hopefully show the potential new owners that Otterburn welcomes them and we are a fantastic community.

The sheer weight of this support proves the council cannot ignore our village any longer. Dark Skies Leisure needs to see that we are ready for the Percy Arms to finally open its doors again.

Spent many a fine night in The Percy. Back in Otterburn this weekend and very sad that the place is still closed. The village needs The Percy to get some community spirit back as it is sadly lacking at present. Hopefully everyone who wants to live in the village also wants a thriving community including a local pub / hotel. Let us hope it all works out. Pip
as I worked for over 10 years right up untill the day it closed its doors, I would love to see it up and running again, it was the hub of the village .
with recent news of other public house closing and others looking to close Otterburn will become a ghost town, it is fantastic news that jobs will be created in the valley. Don't let Otterburn become just another village that has nothing. Northumberland is the most beautiful county in the UK and needs villages to be fully functional attractions.
i no longer live in the village but know how important the Percy was to the village, not only as a place to enjoy a drink or a meal but for the people who worked there! This lovely little village needs the Percy as well as the surrounding areas reliant on such things as the ladies darts league!
otterburn is lacking soul and a sense of community that other local villages like West Woodburn and Bellingham have. Bringing the Percy Arms back would give the village a heart and create much needed local jobs for local people. Young people particularly need local opportunities. We desperately need the Percy back.
Help the owners make a success.
we need a village pub

We had our wedding at the Percy Arms hotel . It was a brilliant day loved every minute there the staff were fantastic and we used to go there years ago for drinks . It has been a big miss in the village and my sister lives in the village with her family and we would visit again if opened. Need somewhere for people to catch up.
