Framsden villagers have not only succeeded in their eight year fight to prevent the village's only pub being converted into a home, but have also raised enough funds (with help from a £276k grant from the government's Community Ownership Fund) to buy the pub. The building has deteriorated badly since closure, so will take some time to restore, but they hope to have it open by xmas, when it will revert to its historical name, the Greyhound.
