The Limes Action Group Fights to Save Merstham Pub

A community group in Merstham is campaigning to save a pub from being closed.  

The Limes Action Group was set up to try and save The Limes pub, situated on the corner of Southcote Road and Albury Road. The pub’s owner, Enterprise Inns, plans to sell the pub for redevelopment.  The Limes Action Group is considering how to move forward using Article 4 of the Localism Act of 2011.  The Act supports local communities to keep much-loved sites in public use and part of local life. Local councillors have attended the Limes Action Group’s meetings and a publicity campaign is now underway to save the pub.  

Chris Lowe, Chairman of The Limes Action Group told Neil Munday how losing the pub would affect the Merstham community.
