I no longer live in Ealing but now in South Oxfordshire. However we have these 'pub closure' problems here too. I write here though for two reasons a) I feel the closures are largely recession-connected. We are in Feb 2010 and still in the eye of a recession that could even be a 'double-dip' one. This is affecting peoples spending - I know a lot of people on a pay freeze. b) What is really important is that pubs like the Haven (as opposed to the other one recently closed which was a shop) do not get developers applying for 'change of use', which basically means conversion to housing. This is what we are fighting - with varied success - in South Oxfordshire. We feel that pubs will re-open some day in the future and that the good premises should remain pubs.
