As soon as people start citing the Netherlands as an example for us, I switch off.

Although the Wetherspoons chain is closing some pubs in the UK, they have applied again to open one near the Anchor on Gloucester road.

Indeed Matthew this is their 4th attempt so they must have serious profits to invest and are desperate for this site. Sarah we loath the long-term dereliction but are not aware of alternatives though would gladly support any sensible scheme.

Wetherspoons can rescue the derillict building and also bring something different and positive to the area in the form of a fair attempt at a healthier pub menu (calorie counts listed and lots of veggie/vegan options), cheaper food and drinks served long hours (coffees etc as well as beer), no music/TV/games machines.

I would say a 'handful of Wetherspoons' 900 pubs are due to close', rather than 'many'. My impression is Wetherspoons is in general booming as a business?

Bill SingletonTuesday 16 April

In the context of pub closures in the UK, to describe 16 out of 600 as 'many' betrays this comment as subjective and manipulatory.

Sarah BonduelTuesday 16 April

Is there an alternative bid for this space? It’s been derelict for years.

Well the 100 student flats no one objected to being built on my doorstep will be full of people wanting cheap booze 🤷‍♀️

@bristol247 No, we don’t unless there’s something radically different about their latest planning application when we scrutinise it
