£600,000, which is substantially above the asking price for similar properties being advertised for sale with the same agent. The council has reminded the owner of the obligations to notify of an intention to sell under ACV rules. ./..

A planning application has been lodged by the owner which we urge you to look at:pa2.north-herts.gov.uk/onlin… ref.21/02206/FP comment by 18.9.21. Our concern is that these proposals fail to justify an operational need which will support the retention of The Windmill in the long term.
In the event a sale is agreed we will be drawing on your share pledges. More details on this will follow when needed. We are very grateful for your continued support and patience. If you haven’t already, there is still time to pledge:

Good News! Whilst we cannot give exact details, we want you to know that share pledges have reached a level where we can make a credible bid to purchase the site at what we believe to be market value & we have been able to engage with council officials in meaningful discussions.
Don’t forget to register your interest for our shares too: savethewindmillpub.com/uploa…

A community pub is not just a way of saving the last pub in the village. It is about creating a community space and an ownership concept that is sustainable for the future, that supports local employment and a pub that is the centre of a community.
Would this pub in Bilston, work well as a #communitypub? This @birmingham_live says the former licensees did a wonderful job at the heart of the community - Could a community-led approach be a way of protecting the asset now? @PlunkettFoundat @WestMids_CA

And then we have other community groups like @SaveTheCabinet & @windmill_pub trying to save their pub. Happy to offer my full support to #Kimpton residents and the other pub campaigns across North Herts. @nh_camra #Hitchin #HitchinBearton
