Crooked House footpaths fenced off after police called to 'activity' at site
The new owners of the arson-hit and demolished Crooked House pub have been instructed to fence off two footpaths leading to the site - after police were called to investigate 'activity' there.
Police officers visited the site at Himley on Tuesday in response to reports of noises heard from where the famous pub used to stand.
It prompted them to ask for two footpaths which lead to the site to be fenced off for 21 days. Officers from the Health and Safety Executive also had concerns over the instabilty of the ground after the pub was demolished.
A spokesman for Staffordshire Police said: "We went to the Crooked House site yesterday following reports of activity. The Health and Safety Executive has instructed the land owner to erect fencing at the location.”
A meeting was being held on Wednesday night at Himley Hall, with Dudley North MP Marco Longhi and campaigners seeking to re-build the pub talking about the next steps in the investigation into the fire and bulldozing of the structure at the site.
