We’re going again!

The result of the recent ballot of shareholders was an overwhelming yes to apply again to the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) for a grant to help restore and rebuild the George Community Pub. Of the 72% return 204 shareholders voted in favour of reapplying with only 28 against.

The George Committee have already submitted an expression of interest and are pressing ahead with architects, quantity surveyors and other professionals in preparation for a revised plan to closer meet the requirements laid down by NLHF.

The submission of the new plan will be made in May of this year with the result known later in September.

Stop press – since submitting the expression of interest to NLHF, we have now received the go ahead to reapply for a grant. The team are now fully engaged in preparing the application.
