A community pub is not just a way of saving the last pub in the village. It is about creating a community space and an ownership concept that is sustainable for the future, that supports local employment and a pub that is the centre of a community.

Good News! Whilst we cannot give exact details, we want you to know that share pledges have reached a level where we can make a credible bid to purchase the site at what we believe to be market value & we have been able to engage with council officials in meaningful discussions.

Absolutely marvellous news, the next #communitypub moves a step closer!! @PlunkettFoundat #MoreThanAPub

Apologies to all of our followers who have been trying to access our website. We are looking into this now and will post here when it is up and running again. Many thanks for your interest.

In the event a sale is agreed we will be drawing on your share pledges.  More details on this will follow when needed.  We are very grateful for your continued support and patience. If you haven’t already, there is still time to pledge:

A planning application has been lodged by the owner which we urge you to look at:pa2.north-herts.gov.uk/online-applica… ref.21/02206/FP comment by 18.9.21. Our concern is that these proposals fail to justify an operational need which will support the retention of The Windmill in the long term.

And warm wishes for a happy and healthy New Year. Please be sure to read our Christmas 2021 update with thread (see below) to find out what is happening.

Here’s what we are hoping for in the New Year! Hope you have made a good start to yours. Stay safe and well.
