BUILDING work has begun on a pub (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/14094/)saved from demolition by the local residents.
Around £450,000 was raised to secure the pub and stop it being bulldozed and turned into housing by developers.
More than £300,000 came from community investors and a further £150,000 has come from commercial loans.
Now the work has started on ripping out and replacing the old, run-down, bar area and it is starting to look like a real village pub again.
