'Constructive talks' planned as hopes raised for future of Shropshire pub
A community group looking to rescue a Shropshire pub which closed last year have raised hopes over its long-term future.
The Horse and Jockey in Northwood, in the north of the county, was closed last year after becoming a victim of soaring energy prices and the cost of living.
A group called Friends of the Horse and Jockey was formed to look at ways of saving the ailing pub.
People were asked to pledge money to own a stake in the pub through a share offer with the plan to buy and create a community-owned pub for Northwood, and the surrounding areas, including Newtown, Whixall and Bettisfield.
Now the group have revealed in a social media post that they hope to hold 'constructive talks' with the vendors over the pub.
