CAMRA pushes for Asset of Community Value vote to protect remains of 'vitally important' Crooked House
A real ale campaigner today said communities need to "take the lead" to save what remains of the Crooked House.
The advice comes as CAMRA prepares to make a push for the foundations and beer cellar of the Crooked House to be registered as an Asset of Community Value.
The vote, if successful would mean that the remnants of the demolished building will be protected from further damage.
The CAMRA spokesperson also went on to say that the community plays a special role in the protection of the building's remains, saying that the locals must fight to protect what is left.
CAMRA's director of pub and club campaigns, Garry Timmins, said: "The tragedy of the demolition of the Crooked House has played out across the world and CAMRA wants to see stronger national rules that require local authorities to take enforcement action where pubs are unlawfully converted or demolished.
