The problem is H&B running the pubs down, slapping on restrictive covenants and then (Fort Island styley) leaving them as eyesores, in the hope they can get planning to turn them into luxury executive housing developments (*may prove unsuitable for the rapid rotation of felines). If the authorites stopped H&B from getting away with it, perhaps H&B would stop doing it in the first place. Yep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its very disappointing that they do this but they are acting within the law. It would have to come from government to table a bill to stop the practice, but it would be a big change. You can't simply change the law to stop H&B doing it for pubs. It was have to be all conditions of sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I see on facebook that Dr Allinson fancies that having a go at H&B's restrictive covenants could be the key to his reelection. Good on him for finally having a little go about it, but its not a new thing. There's some kind of consultation for you to fill out too, if you want to pass on your thoughts about such a disgusting practice. https://www.facebook.com/royalRamsey/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But pubs are less of thing than they once were. And it's pointless them not being within walking distance of where enough customers live to make the thing viable as a business. 7 minutes ago, Banker said: Saw another post that brewery are planning to increase a pint by 10p A whole 10p? Goodness. So if you drank 10 pints you'd have to pay a whole extra £1. OMG. Shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the law then. Do you have some examples of buildings over here with restrictive covenants placed on them prior to being sold? That aren't H&B sites? I vaguely remember something about the site on the corner now used as Douglas library, but can't be sure. Coop or church influenced that maybe. It's just shit behaviour all round. You should see the state of The Ship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
