Why are they so protective over something that is already closed?
The NIMBY anti-progress stuff really needs to be stopped.
I had not noticed that there was a policy idea that villages should get to keep their ‘facilities’. Our pub is closed ‘for the foreseeable’ because of a rent dispute with Green King
Is there a massive problem with a village getting a recording studio run by some hipster knob with a big audience? Don’t emptying-out communities need new businesses setting up? They could have nudged him to include community facilities, do summink cultural maybe.
Beggers can’t be choosers and all that….
Can we use his proper title, ‘Rapist POS with bad haircut Russel Brand’….
Alternate title: sex pest not allowed to build soundproof room
Would they prefer a closed building doing nothing then? He purchased it in 2020, so even if it was open the day before he bought it it’s still over 3 years. What facility is being lost here?
People in the comments conflating people not wanting a rapist turning up to their village every day with NIMBY-ism and hatred of ‘progress’ LOL.
There are far better used for the building than Russell Brand setting up a recording studio. You could reopen the pub, open a restaurant, make it a community centre etc. Even a community music/arts centre would be much nicer than losing the building to someone like Brand.
I thought he was going off to live in a Belize jungle?
I had actually visited this pub before it closed in 2020. It’s in a nice location and was pretty decent. I’m not really sure what ‘village’ there is around here as it’s on a quite sparse populated road in the Chilterns, but it was great as a stop for cycling and hiking.
Back when Brand bought it I had actually looked forward to it continuing as fun healthy eating place. More recently Brand appears to have gone down a proper internet rabbit hole and not to mention all the other revelations. I think most people would want to keep away if he’s still involved!
Sorry, no, we cannot be converting these historical buildings, it’s too much risk to the historical nature and history of the building. Instead, they must remain as unused pubs and be neglected to the point where it’s dangerous and needs knocking down.
