Help local residents protect a 203 year old public house named The Royal Oak Inn, on Sheffield Road Glossop Derbyshire. The current owners want to demolish it to build 6 new homes to sell. The landlord/tenant of seven years has offered to buy the building for a fair price, the owners refused. The demolition and building of six houses is sadly more profitable than being fair and community minded. The owners are valuing the pub at one million pounds, this price is based on the pub already demolished and the land already granted permission to be developed into six new homes to sell!
The pub is a central part of the community, it has a long interesting history. An application to become a heritage England protected listed building has been made. The local MP Robert Largan and local councillors support saving the pub. It has been mentioned in parliament. This petition is to show solidarity with Chris and Boonta Sidebottom, to show that public opinion supports saving the pub. To raise awareness and the campaigns profile. It will be sent to the owners Ian Aveson and Blaise Winstanley directors of Kirtleway Ltd.
We ask these successful business men (who also own The Queens and The Bull public houses in Old Glossop) to sell Chris and Boonta the pub at a fair price. To have a social and moral Conscience, to listen to public opinion and save a piece of local history! It is an important part of the community. #savetheroyaloakinn

Greed always destroys a town and its future. The money will be gone along with the good character of Glossop. Mark the deeds "Heritage building" to be preserved in perpetuity. Older than Canada for crissakes
There are more than enough housing developments already in Glossop we don’t need this historic building pulled down and replaced with more. The pub is still needed it is the closest to Shirebrook surely us residents need a pub that doesn’t take us 30 minutes to walk to more
Most of the trees have already been taken down approx 1 year before application . I do not think the proposal would have been any way passed if these trees were still in situ. Underhanded way of getting planning permission
The biggest shame is that that current tenants have offered a fair price , which retains it as a local business and historic building. If planning is denied , surely that’s an attractive proposition
This is a fantastic historic pub, that deserves the chance to stay as a pub, Glossop is slowly being turned into a mini Ashton, there is hardly any of the rural town beauty that people want to come to experience
Common decency prevails. What's not to love, learn, admire & treasure from beautiful buildings of old, full of character, charm & history which we should protect & continue to relish for our future generations ❤️
I grew up with the royal oak

My father's local for 35 years and mine as a young drinker until my job moved me away. A tragedy if such a pivotal part of Glossop's heritage were to be mindlessly destroyed when an alternative has been offered.
