NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Villagers are toasting the grand reopening of their local pub after raising £500,000 to stop developers turning it into flats.
Their tireless campaign to buy and save The Rising Sun, in Woodcroft, Gloucestershire, took 11 years.
Once the locals raised the cash, they began renovating the abandoned and shabby pub themselves.
At Saturday’s reopening, campaigner Michelle Hayes said the village was ‘absolutely thrilled’.
