The Friends of the Bell pub in Benington are asking for our support to object to a planning application to convert the pub into a residence.
17th Century Grade II Listed Pub
A thriving and much enjoyed pub at the heart of the village, the Bell closed for COVID, has never reopened and the villagers are desperate to save it and reopen it as their local via the Friends of the Bell campaign.
Your support is kindly requested.
The campaigners are asking you to comment on the applications, and give your honest views on potentially losing an incredibly vital asset to the community, before the 9th October deadline.
In order to comment, please use these links to go to East Herts Council’s planning portal:
If you would like to know more, please go to the campaign’s Facebook page or, to discuss the application in anyway please contact friendsofthebell@gmail.com or call/text Paul on 07584 308046
To further promote the campaign, there will be a ‘Pop-up Pub’ Halloween Party in the village hall on Saturday 25th October from 3 PM. Save the date and see the Facebook event, where more details will be added later.
Many thanks in advance if you can support this cause.

Chair, CAMRA North Hertfordshire
