Speaking in support of the resident-led Save the Vane campaign – a campaign to turn the closed Vane Arms in to Cleveland’s first community pub, Alex said:
The closure of the Vane Arms in Long Newton in August 2019 resulted in the loss of a vital community asset, and I am completely behind this local-led campaign to bring the Vane back into use as Cleveland’s first community pub.
I’m delighted to see that the group has successfully achieved Asset Community Value, which is the first step in the campaign to stop the pub falling victim to developers and retaining the Vane Arms as a community hub – providing local services, and playing a role in tackling social isolation.
I wish the group success and will support them in their campaign in any way I can.
