Save the building. List it if necessary but only as a last resort.

I've drank in this pub for nearly 30 years. My dad drank in there well before me. It would be a massive loss for our local community. SAVE OUR PUB

The Claregate is so important to the residents of the area that it should be preserved as a local amenity. The pub is a focal point for local activities and an accessible venue for local people celebrating occasions in their lives.

Greed at its worst. An example of all that's wrong with this world today. Why would they care about people when there's money to be grabbed? Atrocious..

The pub is a welcome addition, providing a necessary break to the suburban sprawl around it, situated opposite the park it serves families well. To demolish this remarkable stately building would be very sad. The architecture is eye catching, the more you study it the grander was the vision of those who first designed it, as a meeting place for the community that it serves. Today so many of these communal meeting places are being lost, forcing families to out of town faceless restaurants and pubs built in anonymous locations. 31 pubs a week are shut across the country, in this area alone in the last few years the following have shut: The Mitre, Shoulder of Mutton, The Halfway House, Bird in Hand. If this closes individuals will feel ever more marginalised, resulting in an increasingly polarised and disenfranchised society.

This pub is part of my history as in the late 60's and early 70's I played football for Claregate FC and the pub, (then the Fieldhouse), was our HQ. Please don't let it be another statistic of pub closures, there are enough already. It serves a thriving pub going area and is a valuable asset to the local community. Leave it alone!!
