At a recent meeting of Wadhurst Parish Council, it was agreed that we would petition local residents to see if you would support making this public house an Asset of Community Value (ACV). This means that if the building was ever going to be sold to someone who wasn’t going to run it as a pub, the Parish council would be notified and would have six months to raise the funds to buy it on the open market.
Too many pubs have been turned into housing and Wadhurst Parish Council are determined to do all we can to prevent losing any more.
Please note you must be on the electoral role (ER) in Wadhurst to participate
If we are successful in making this building an ACV we will be conducting further polls to see if residents would support a community buy out.
This has nothing to do with the present operators of this pub who are making a tremendous effort in very difficult times and deserve all our support.

We are currently organizing the formal submission for the council to review our case. Please check your electoral roll status and email your local representative to demand they prioritize our application. Post this link on Facebook so we keep the pressure on before the next council review.

The momentum we have built shows that this village is ready to protect The Greyhound from being lost to housing developers. Copy the petition link and text it to three neighbors who are on the electoral roll to keep this pressure on the council. Email your local representatives today to let them know we expect them to formally designate this site as an Asset of Community Value.

Lovely village pub at the heart of the community. It is one sign of continuity in a rapidly changing world.
It would give the village a chance to develop the property instead of leaving it empty as we see with two of the shops in the village.
Just moved to Wadhurst and keen to see this pub retained
The village needs it
Happy to sign this
Great pub, excellent tourist attraction
A much needed asset of the village

The Greyhound has been there forever. We cant just let these places turn into more flats. Keep the heart of the village alive.
