Pub saved from devolpers

Fox & Hounds, Denmead pub saved & bought by local community. Needs a refurb so not yet open

"CONTRACTS have now been exchanged and locals are getting ready to open the doors of their favourite pub.

It will be all hands to the pump on Saturday as dozens of people are expected at a huge clean-up at the Fox and Hounds in Denmead.

In one of the first moves of its kind in the area, campaigners raised more than £300,000 to buy the 140-year-old building to stop it being bulldozed for housing. "
