Mountaineer Pub

Saturday 10th April

A number of residents have contacted me about the Mountaineer Pub on Ashburton Road over the last week. From the enquiries that I have made, a sale has been agreed but no contracts have been exchanged. The new owner does intend to re-open as licensed premises. However, they are seeking planning permission for a change of use, I don't know what to, which may take up to 18 months. The potential new owner is an experienced businessman who will have no hesitation in shutting the pub if any trouble occurs. The change of licensing conditions will apply ie closing at 11pm. We will be keeping a watchful eye on developments to make sure that the local residents' quality of life will not be affected.
